I created a new library multi-platform library called ko-iso with support for country and language codes. Might be a bit redundant but I got tired of reinventing that wheel, dealing with JVM only libraries, and patching together different things across platforms. I'd love some feedback on this.

Would be nice to also have a country name in local language.

[Jilles van Gurp]

yeah, gets a bit too large. Might be nice as a second library that depends on this. I've been thinking about using geonames for this.

Main issue is that is not a small file. Also some countries like India have lots of official languages.

Another thing I'm considering is adding support for common locales and adding some common meta information to those.

Looks awesome! What would really boost my confidence is a test against an established library (only on the JVM target, of course), to make sure that everything behaves as expected. For example: EL is a valid country code for greece and your json data does not contain it

Also: GB/UK

[Jilles van Gurp]

These are not ISO 3166-1 codes. If I can get a list of these alternate codes, I might add them (if they don't conflict)

[Bernd Prünster]

I am not aware of conflicts, but Eurostat uses those codes and as of now, they are valid in the context of eIDAS2 (EUDI). Too big to ignore imho

[Jilles van Gurp]

Thanks for pointing this out.

I've added some handling for these two. I've looked but it seems that these two are the only common non standard ones.

There's a new alternate code for GB/GR now. And the alpha2 lookup now succeeds for these codes.

Will create a new release with this shortly.
