This project is a solution to the REST Countries API with color theme switcher challenge on Frontend Mentor. The goal was to create a web application where users can explore countries using data from the REST Countries API and toggle between light and dark modes.

Users should be able to:

• See all countries from the API on the homepage
• Search for a country using an input field
• Filter countries by region
• Click on a country to see more detailed information on a separate page
• Click through to the border countries on the detail page
• Toggle the color scheme between light and dark mode (optional)

• Solution URL
• Live Site URL

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow
• JavaScript

This challenge introduced me to the process of integrating JSON files and APIs. Despite its initial difficulty, I successfully implemented fetching data from an API and updating a JSON file with it. Additionally, I learned how to handle API connection failures gracefully, ensuring that the site can still function using data from the JSON file.

In future projects, I aim to further enhance my JavaScript skills and expand my knowledge by building CRUD applications.
