Countries data

This repository contains lists of world countries in JSON, CSV and XML. Each line contains the country:

• name
• top-level domain (tld)
• code ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (cca2)
• code ISO 3166-1 numeric (ccn3)
• code ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (cca3)
• currency code(s) (comma separated if several)
• calling code(s) (comma separated if several)
• alternative spellings (comma separated if several)
• relevance
• region
• subregion (comma separated if several)

I use http://www.shancarter.com/data_converter/index.html to generate the JSON and XML; the CSV was done by hand.

I will add the following data:

• the country capital city
• the country official language(s)

Sources

• Wikipedia for country name, TLD, ISO codes and alternative spellings
• http://www.currency-iso.org/ for currency codes
• Alternative spellings and relevance are inspired by https://github.com/JamieAppleseed/selectToAutocomplete
• Region and subregion are taken from https://github.com/hexorx/countries.
