Is there a best practice for storing and retrieving static list in node
<p>I am building a application for the first time in node.</p>

<p>My website will include a static list of countries, music genres and so on...</p>

<p>Should I store the data in my database, or should I use a static json file with a list(countries, genre)?</p>

<p>My folder structure looks something like src\lib..scsss..server and so on.</p>

<p>My question ultimately is - Is there a best practice for storing static lists in node  - if a josn file is preferred where should this exist in my folder structure?</p>
