Alexa Intent Scheme

JSON
Copy the code into the Intent Schema for your Alexa skill. We are only going to have one intent for this app which is GetCountry
{
  "intents": [
    {
      "intent": "GetCountry",
      "slots": [
        {
          "name": "Address",
          "type": "AddressValues"
        }
      ]
    },

    },
    {
      "intent": "AMAZON.CancelIntent"
    },
    {
      "intent": "AMAZON.StopIntent"
    }
  ]
