Pakistan Census Data (1998)

This is re-structured census data, collected from census.gov.pk. Data that resided on census website as HTML pages, is collected using web page scrapping method. It is then converted to rough JSON format using Simple HTML DOM library. At this stage, data is cleaned and re-structured to a clean, reusable and machine-readable format but type of data format remains intact to JSON.
