Most important aspect of Vastu Directions

Directions are the most important aspect of Vastu. Each direction presents opportunity for either spiritual, economic, social or in some other form.

There are primary 4 directions: North, South, East and West – called cardinal directions, while there are sub-directions such as: North East, South East, North West, South West. Each sub-directions get their fair share such as – North-NorthEast(NNE), North-NorthWest(NNW), East-NorthEast(ENE), East-SouthEast(ESE), South-SouthEast(SSE), South-SouthWest (SSW), West-NorthWest(WNW), North-NorthWest(NNW)

Thus forming total 16 directions. If I had to represent them in JSON format:

{
    "directions": [
        {
            "name": "North"
        },
        {
            "name": "NNE"
        },
        {
            "name": "NE"
        },
        {
            "name": "ENE"
        },
        {
            "name": "East"
        },

        {
            "name": "ESE"
        },

        {
            "name": "SE"
        },

        {
            "name": "SSE"
        },

        {
            "name": "South"
        },

        {
            "name": "SSW"
        },

        {
            "name": "SW"
        },

        {
            "name": "WSW"
        },

        {
            "name": "West"
        },

        {
            "name": "WNW"
        },

        {
            "name": "NW"
        },

        {
            "name": "NNW"
        }

    ]
}
