All the 138,398 cities of the world with a population of at least 1000 inhabitants, in a big JSON array that is ready to be imported in MongoDB for geoSpatialSearch.
Derived from the cities-with-1000 npm package, which in turn came from geonames.org data.
Download node at nodejs.org and install it, if you haven't already.
