I know there are a lot of questions asked regarding this. But most answers/workarounds are pretty old to work with.
I tried the GeoName and some more options but was not satisfied.
Have we found any way to get the updated/recent (not hardcoded) list of countries, states, and cities in a simple manner so that we can get a dynamic dropdown with it? If we have, can I please get the link to the article/doc/blog/something?
Thanks.
For any dev searching something similar, I found this which is just similar but pretty compact version of Geonames. Will keep posting here if I find something more useful and handy.
