This is a solution to the [REST Countries API with color theme switcher challenge on Frontend Mentor](https://www.frontendmentor.io/challenges/rest-countries-api-with-color-theme-switcher-5cacc469fec04111f7b848ca). Frontend Mentor challenges help you improve your coding skills by building realistic projects.

> In this challenge, Rest Countries API can be used, but it has its limitations. For example, it doesn't support pagination, and if you use the filter, you can't use a query to search for specific elements. It's also not possible to retrieve the names of bordering countries using a single request. Therefore, I turned to the data.json provided with the challenge, created a database in MongoDB, and utilized Server Actions in Next.js to consume it.
