US Cities -City : State - Key Value Pair

[mrwigster]

US Cities with corresponding abbreviated state code.

This dataset will not work as-is - There are many cities with the same names in multiple states, and when the city name is the key, the last one will overwrite all the others. For example, I live in Shawnee, OK but there is also a Shawnee, KS. The current JSON will not result in both of those cities existing in the resulting output.

Perhaps you should structure it with the state first, and then all the cities within that state, like:

{
  "CA": [
    "City One",
    "City Two",
   // ...
  ],
  // ...
}
