In my application, I am getting long data from google. i know that we can iterate and get the value. But I am sure that always the google result will be the same as i got. In that case what would be the correct approach to get the country name always with safe way?
here is the result i am getting at preset:

To get country names, use map, find and includes
var countries = obj.results.map( s => s.address_components.find ( t => t.types.includes( "country" ) ).long_name )
To get unique countries, use Set and spread operator ... to Array
countries = [...new Set( countries )];
