Changing fields naming convention

In order to make our API even more dev-friendly, we are going to replace dashes with underscores in the field names of our JSON responses.

Foer example, the field named: "country-code" , has been updated to "country_code".

Also some fields have been renaming entirely like:

is-daylight-saving -> is_dst
country-iso-code -> country_code

The main reason behind why are we changing our naming conventions, is that most of web-oriented programming languages, can automatically convert JSON strings into objects.

PHP for example, can convert JSON and use a simple:

$obj->name_field

instead of an ugly:

"$obj->{'name-field'}"
