JavaScript map Function with JSON

The map() method in JavaScript is used to create a new array populated with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array. It's one of the most commonly used array methods due to its utility in transforming data in a functional programming style.
Creates a New Array: map() does not modify the original array. Instead,
it creates a new array with the transformed values.

Syntax

array.map(function(element, index, array) {
  // Return transformed element here
})

Displaying JSON Data in a Card Layout using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Let's display the given JSON data in a card layout on an HTML page using the map function in JavaScript. We will use HTML for the structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript to fetch and display the data.
