v3.0.0.3
๐ Removed dependency on the RestCountries API
Due to a breaking change introduced on their end, the live API is no longer reliable for this project.
๐ Now using a static JSON file for country data
Country information is now bundled directly with the control, ensuring stabilityโno external calls required.
โ Removed country info feature
Since the local file only contains basic country data, the additional country information feature (e.g., population, region) has been removed. It was useful for demos but didn't add much practical value in real use cases.
This update makes the control lighter and more reliable
json data file was generated from : https://restcountries.com/v3.1/all?fields=name,flags,cca3,cca2,translations
