A Go package providing all ISO 3166-1 country codes as constants of type iso3166.Country
.
For each country the two-letter and three-letter alphabetic codes, the three-digit numeric code and the English name are available.
Countries can either be hardcoded using the available constants or loaded from a string using FromAlpha2()
,
FromAlpha3()
and FromNumeric()
.
Use the constants to directly reference countries.
fmt.Println("The numeric code for Antarctica is", iso3166.AQ.Numeric())
// Output:
// The numeric code for Antarctica is 010
Use FromAlpha2()
, FromAlpha3()
and FromNumeric()
to load a country from a string.
alpha2 := "NL"
country, _ := iso3166.FromAlpha2(alpha2) // Ignoring error for simplicity
fmt.Println("The three-letter code for", country.Name(), "is", country.Alpha3())
// Output:
// The three-letter code for Netherlands is NLD
Wrap in Must()
to return a single value or panic on error;
fmt.Println("The two-letter code for the United States is", iso3166.Must(iso3166.FromAlpha3("USA")).Alpha2())
// Output:
// The two-letter code for the United States is US
