The Population Viewer is a simple web application that dynamically displays population data from a JSON file. The data is fetched and displayed using JavaScript, and styled with CSS.

• index.html: The main HTML file that sets up the structure of the web page.
• styles.css: The CSS file that styles the elements of the web page.
• population.json: The JSON file containing the population data to be displayed.

To run this application, you need to have a local HTTP server set up. This is necessary because modern browsers block fetching of local files (e.g., the JSON file) due to security restrictions.

You can use various methods to set up a local HTTP server. Below are instructions for using Node.js and the http-server package.

1. Install Node.js from nodejs.org.

2. Open your terminal or command prompt.

3. Install the http-server package globally by running the following command:

   npm install -g http-server

1. Navigate to the directory containing your project files.

2. Start the HTTP server by running the following command:

   http-server

3. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080 (or the port indicated in your terminal).
