Country Info Finder

A simple web application to fetch and display detailed information about a country, including its name, currency, population, capital city, and flag.

The app uses a backend built with Node.js and Express to serve requests to the Rest Countries API, which requires no API key. The frontend fetches this data and displays it in a user-friendly interface.
