This app let's you explore all the counties of the world by clicking on them on the draggable and zoomable globe.

Country details through REST API

To fetch information about each country I'm using the following REST API endpoints:

• REST Countries API - to get information such as country's capital, currency, etc.
• Wikimedia REST API - to get a short paragraph about a country

All the photos used in the app come from Unsplash JSON API which provides free and high-resolution photos.
