how to use 2 letter country codes instead of 3 letter ones

[turbowars]

Guys,

I am consuming a WCF service which has the data linked to a 2 letter country codes("RU" instead of "RUS") as listed here: http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_names_and_code_elements.htm

Can someone guide me in linking up this data?

Unfortunately the GeoJSON I went with for Datamaps uses the 3 letter country code ISO format ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3 )

Perhaps you can write a quick transform? If you had an object set up like:

var convert = {
 "RU": "RUS",
 "US": "USA",
 ...
};

and then when you get the payload from the WCF service, convert them to 3 letter?

This would come in handy: http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/country_code_list.htm

I'm going to close this since I'm not planning on a fix for this ( but I'd be happy to take a pull request if you found a way to implement the country code transform )
