Answer 1

Your problem can be solved in two steps:
1) convert your json data to a php String
2) iterate over that array:
step 1) convert to array
$arr = json_decode($jsondata);
step 2) iterate over array
arrayRecurssive($arr);
function arrayRecurssive($arr){
foreach($arr as $key=>$val){
if(is_array($val)){
echo "$key\n";
arrayRecurssive($val);
}else{
echo "$key\n";
echo "$val\n";
}
}
}
in my example above im using '\n' as my new line, but that may as well be <br/>. further formatting of the output is left as an exercise for the coder :-)

Answer 2

The json data appears to be badly formatted. It should be:
[{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"Dutch"},{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"Papiamento"},{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"Spanish"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Balochi"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Dari"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Pashto"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Turkmenian"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Uzbek"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Ambo"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Chokwe"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Kongo"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Luchazi"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Luimbe-nganguela"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Luvale"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Mbundu"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Nyaneka-nkhumbi"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Ovimbundu"},{"CountryCode":"AIA","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ALB","Language":"Albaniana"},{"CountryCode":"ALB","Language":"Greek"},{"CountryCode":"ALB","Language":"Macedonian"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"Catalan"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"French"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"Portuguese"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"Spanish"},{"CountryCode":"ANT","Language":"Dutch"},{"CountryCode":"ANT","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ANT","Language":"Papiamento"},{"CountryCode":"ARE","Language":"Arabic"},{"CountryCode":"ARE","Language":"Hindi"},{"CountryCode":"ARG","Language":"Indian Languages"},{"CountryCode":"ARG","Language":"Italian"},{"CountryCode":"ARG","Language":"Spanish"},{"CountryCode":"ARM","Language":"Armenian"},{"CountryCode":"ARM","Language":"Azerbaijani"},{"CountryCode":"ASM","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ASM","Language":"Samoan"},{"CountryCode":"ASM","Language":"Tongan"},{"CountryCode":"ATG","Language":"Creole English"},{"CountryCode":"ATG","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Arabic"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Canton Chinese"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"German"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Greek"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Italian"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Serbo-Croatian"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Vietnamese"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Czech"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"German"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Hungarian"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Polish"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Romanian"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Serbo-Croatian"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Slovene"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Turkish"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Armenian"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Azerbaijani"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Lezgian"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Russian"},{"CountryCode":"BDI","Language":"French"},{"CountryCode":"BDI","Language":"Kirundi"},{"CountryCode":"BDI","Language":"Swahili"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Arabic"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Dutch"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"French"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"German"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Italian"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Turkish"},{"CountryCode":"BEN","Language":"Adja"},{"CountryCode":"BEN","Language":"Aizo"}]
You can then simply assign that to an array. For example:
var countries = $.parseJSON('[{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"Dutch"},{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"Papiamento"},{"CountryCode":"ABW","Language":"Spanish"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Balochi"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Dari"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Pashto"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Turkmenian"},{"CountryCode":"AFG","Language":"Uzbek"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Ambo"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Chokwe"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Kongo"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Luchazi"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Luimbe-nganguela"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Luvale"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Mbundu"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Nyaneka-nkhumbi"},{"CountryCode":"AGO","Language":"Ovimbundu"},{"CountryCode":"AIA","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ALB","Language":"Albaniana"},{"CountryCode":"ALB","Language":"Greek"},{"CountryCode":"ALB","Language":"Macedonian"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"Catalan"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"French"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"Portuguese"},{"CountryCode":"AND","Language":"Spanish"},{"CountryCode":"ANT","Language":"Dutch"},{"CountryCode":"ANT","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ANT","Language":"Papiamento"},{"CountryCode":"ARE","Language":"Arabic"},{"CountryCode":"ARE","Language":"Hindi"},{"CountryCode":"ARG","Language":"Indian Languages"},{"CountryCode":"ARG","Language":"Italian"},{"CountryCode":"ARG","Language":"Spanish"},{"CountryCode":"ARM","Language":"Armenian"},{"CountryCode":"ARM","Language":"Azerbaijani"},{"CountryCode":"ASM","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"ASM","Language":"Samoan"},{"CountryCode":"ASM","Language":"Tongan"},{"CountryCode":"ATG","Language":"Creole English"},{"CountryCode":"ATG","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Arabic"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Canton Chinese"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"English"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"German"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Greek"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Italian"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Serbo-Croatian"},{"CountryCode":"AUS","Language":"Vietnamese"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Czech"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"German"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Hungarian"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Polish"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Romanian"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Serbo-Croatian"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Slovene"},{"CountryCode":"AUT","Language":"Turkish"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Armenian"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Azerbaijani"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Lezgian"},{"CountryCode":"AZE","Language":"Russian"},{"CountryCode":"BDI","Language":"French"},{"CountryCode":"BDI","Language":"Kirundi"},{"CountryCode":"BDI","Language":"Swahili"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Arabic"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Dutch"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"French"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"German"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Italian"},{"CountryCode":"BEL","Language":"Turkish"},{"CountryCode":"BEN","Language":"Adja"},{"CountryCode":"BEN","Language":"Aizo"}]');
alert(countries.length);
