I am using the ipinfo.io library to check the user's country and everything is working fine.
I am using this code to pull the data
$.get("https://ipinfo.io?token=0000000000", function(response) {
console.log(response.ip, response.country);
}, "jsonp")
I read in the https://ipinfo.io/developers/full-country-names that i can use the full country names json file but i have no idea how to map it together don't even know where to start. Any advice here?
thanks!

First create variable with all countries list
var country={"BD": "Bangladesh", "BE": "Belgium", "BF": "Burkina Faso", "BG": "Bulgaria", "BA": "Bosnia and Herzegovina", "BB": "Barbados", "WF": "Wallis and Futuna", "BL": "Saint Barthelemy", "BM": "Bermuda", "BN": "Brunei", "BO": "Bolivia", "BH": "Bahrain", "BI": "Burundi", "BJ": "Benin", "BT": "Bhutan", "JM": "Jamaica", "BV": "Bouvet Island", "BW": "Botswana", "WS": "Samoa", "BQ": "Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba ", "BR": "Brazil", "BS": "Bahamas", "JE": "Jersey", "BY": "Belarus", "BZ": "Belize", "RU": "Russia", "RW": "Rwanda", "RS": "Serbia", "TL": "East Timor", "RE": "Reunion", "TM": "Turkmenistan", "TJ": "Tajikistan", "RO": "Romania", "TK": "Tokelau", "GW": "Guinea-Bissau", "GU": "Guam", "GT": "Guatemala", "GS": "South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands", "GR": "Greece", "GQ": "Equatorial Guinea", "GP": "Guadeloupe", "JP": "Japan", "GY": "Guyana", "GG": "Guernsey", "GF": "French Guiana", "GE": "Georgia", "GD": "Grenada", "GB": "United Kingdom", "GA": "Gabon", "SV": "El Salvador", "GN": "Guinea", "GM": "Gambia", "GL": "Greenland", "GI": "Gibraltar", "GH": "Ghana", "OM": "Oman", "TN": "Tunisia", "JO": "Jordan", "HR": "Croatia", "HT": "Haiti", "HU": "Hungary", "HK": "Hong Kong", "HN": "Honduras", "HM": "Heard Island and McDonald Islands", "VE": "Venezuela", "PR": "Puerto Rico", "PS": "Palestinian Territory", "PW": "Palau", "PT": "Portugal", "SJ": "Svalbard and Jan Mayen", "PY": "Paraguay", "IQ": "Iraq", "PA": "Panama", "PF": "French Polynesia", "PG": "Papua New Guinea", "PE": "Peru", "PK": "Pakistan", "PH": "Philippines", "PN": "Pitcairn", "PL": "Poland", "PM": "Saint Pierre and Miquelon", "ZM": "Zambia", "EH": "Western Sahara", "EE": "Estonia", "EG": "Egypt", "ZA": "South Africa", "EC": "Ecuador", "IT": "Italy", "VN": "Vietnam", "SB": "Solomon Islands", "ET": "Ethiopia", "SO": "Somalia", "ZW": "Zimbabwe", "SA": "Saudi Arabia", "ES": "Spain", "ER": "Eritrea", "ME": "Montenegro", "MD": "Moldova", "MG": "Madagascar", "MF": "Saint Martin", "MA": "Morocco", "MC": "Monaco", "UZ": "Uzbekistan", "MM": "Myanmar", "ML": "Mali", "MO": "Macao", "MN": "Mongolia", "MH": "Marshall Islands", "MK": "Macedonia", "MU": "Mauritius", "MT": "Malta", "MW": "Malawi", "MV": "Maldives", "MQ": "Martinique", "MP": "Northern Mariana Islands", "MS": "Montserrat", "MR": "Mauritania", "IM": "Isle of Man", "UG": "Uganda", "TZ": "Tanzania", "MY": "Malaysia", "MX": "Mexico", "IL": "Israel", "FR": "France", "IO": "British Indian Ocean Territory", "SH": "Saint Helena", "FI": "Finland", "FJ": "Fiji", "FK": "Falkland Islands", "FM": "Micronesia", "FO": "Faroe Islands", "NI": "Nicaragua", "NL": "Netherlands", "NO": "Norway", "NA": "Namibia", "VU": "Vanuatu", "NC": "New Caledonia", "NE": "Niger", "NF": "Norfolk Island", "NG": "Nigeria", "NZ": "New Zealand", "NP": "Nepal", "NR": "Nauru", "NU": "Niue", "CK": "Cook Islands", "XK": "Kosovo", "CI": "Ivory Coast", "CH": "Switzerland", "CO": "Colombia", "CN": "China", "CM": "Cameroon", "CL": "Chile", "CC": "Cocos Islands", "CA": "Canada", "CG": "Republic of the Congo", "CF": "Central African Republic", "CD": "Democratic Republic of the Congo", "CZ": "Czech Republic", "CY": "Cyprus", "CX": "Christmas Island", "CR": "Costa Rica", "CW": "Curacao", "CV": "Cape Verde", "CU": "Cuba", "SZ": "Swaziland", "SY": "Syria", "SX": "Sint Maarten", "KG": "Kyrgyzstan", "KE": "Kenya", "SS": "South Sudan", "SR": "Suriname", "KI": "Kiribati", "KH": "Cambodia", "KN": "Saint Kitts and Nevis", "KM": "Comoros", "ST": "Sao Tome and Principe", "SK": "Slovakia", "KR": "South Korea", "SI": "Slovenia", "KP": "North Korea", "KW": "Kuwait", "SN": "Senegal", "SM": "San Marino", "SL": "Sierra Leone", "SC": "Seychelles", "KZ": "Kazakhstan", "KY": "Cayman Islands", "SG": "Singapore", "SE": "Sweden", "SD": "Sudan", "DO": "Dominican Republic", "DM": "Dominica", "DJ": "Djibouti", "DK": "Denmark", "VG": "British Virgin Islands", "DE": "Germany", "YE": "Yemen", "DZ": "Algeria", "US": "United States", "UY": "Uruguay", "YT": "Mayotte", "UM": "United States Minor Outlying Islands", "LB": "Lebanon", "LC": "Saint Lucia", "LA": "Laos", "TV": "Tuvalu", "TW": "Taiwan", "TT": "Trinidad and Tobago", "TR": "Turkey", "LK": "Sri Lanka", "LI": "Liechtenstein", "LV": "Latvia", "TO": "Tonga", "LT": "Lithuania", "LU": "Luxembourg", "LR": "Liberia", "LS": "Lesotho", "TH": "Thailand", "TF": "French Southern Territories", "TG": "Togo", "TD": "Chad", "TC": "Turks and Caicos Islands", "LY": "Libya", "VA": "Vatican", "VC": "Saint Vincent and the Grenadines", "AE": "United Arab Emirates", "AD": "Andorra", "AG": "Antigua and Barbuda", "AF": "Afghanistan", "AI": "Anguilla", "VI": "U.S. Virgin Islands", "IS": "Iceland", "IR": "Iran", "AM": "Armenia", "AL": "Albania", "AO": "Angola", "AQ": "Antarctica", "AS": "American Samoa", "AR": "Argentina", "AU": "Australia", "AT": "Austria", "AW": "Aruba", "IN": "India", "AX": "Aland Islands", "AZ": "Azerbaijan", "IE": "Ireland", "ID": "Indonesia", "UA": "Ukraine", "QA": "Qatar", "MZ": "Mozambique"}
After that You can do some like this for pulling data
$.get("https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8/country", function(response) {
console.log(country[response]);
})

One way would be to store that names.json file locally in your project environment. Then you can check if the country code is a key of that object literal. If found, you can print that value.
Something like this:
var countries = {"BD": "Bangladesh", "BE": "Belgium", "BF": "Burkina Faso"}; // your json object names.json
var foundCountryCode = "BE"; // the country code you found
var countryName = countries[foundCountryCode]; // here you get the name
console.log(countryName); // do stuff

To get the object with country codes as keys to country names you can do
fetch("http://country.io/names.json")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(countryMap => {
console.log(countryMap);
});
Take a note that i used json provided by the tutorial you mentioned, which uses http
protocol, so if you are going to run it at the front end of the application make sure that it does not automatically rewrite http
to https
or use a different publicly hosted file.
Then you can just access object parameter normally ex.
console.log(countryMap["BD"]); // Bangladesh
