Join local JSON data with vector tile geometries | Mapbox GL JS

This example styles a choropleth map by merging local JSON data with vector tile geometries.
It uses the match expression to join the Mapbox Countries vector tileset with local JSON data by using a three-letter ISO country code as the lookup key for the country shape.
