World Factbook - meta/categories.json - Count(er) of All Categories

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

If anyone follows along I've added a new meta/catgories.json [1]
file to the /factbook.json repo. Why?

The new meta/categories.json lets you browse / analyze the world
factbook structure in all its glory. Example:

"Introduction": {
"count": 261,
"Background": {
"count": 261,
},
"Preliminary statement": {
"count": 1
}
},
"Geography": {
"count": 261,
"Location": {
"count": 260,
}, ...

For example, this reads as:

- 261 profiles (pages) have an Introduction section.
- 261 profiles (pages) have a Background section in Introduction.
- 1 profile (page) has a Preliminary statement section in Introduction.
- 261 profiles (pages) have a Geography section.
- 260 profiles (pages) have a Location section in Geography.
and so on.

The file includes all "extra" custom sections including typos e.g.:

"Languages": {
"count": 241,
"note": { "count": 60 },
"ntoe": { "count": 1 },
"overseas departments": { "count": 1 },
...

Cheers.
