Package codes-iso-3166

This package contains an implementation of the ISO 3166 parts 1 and 2 standards.

crates.io docs.rs

The purpose of ISO 3166 is to define internationally recognized codes of letters and/or numbers that we can use when we refer to countries and their subdivisions. However, it does not define the names of countries – this information comes from United Nations sources (Terminology Bulletin Country Names and the Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use maintained by the United Nations Statistics Divisions).

The country codes can be represented either as a two-letter code (alpha-2) which is recommended as the general-purpose code, a three-letter code (alpha-3) which is more closely related to the country name and a three-digit numeric code (numeric-3) which can be useful if you need to avoid using Latin script.

This package does not include an implementation of part-3, Code for formerly used names of countries.

For notes on the design of the API, see the repository README.

Example

This example shows the use of the part-1 Country Code.

use codes_iso_3166::part_1::CountryCode;

let country = CountryCode::from_str("AG").unwrap();

assert_eq!(country.alpha_2_code(), "AG");
assert_eq!(country.short_name(), "Antigua and Barbuda");

Features

By default only the serde feature is enabled, and part-1 two-letter language codes.

  • serde - Enables serialization of the different Language Code types.
  • alpha_3_code - Adds the CountryCode::alpha_3_code method.
  • numeric_code - Adds the CountryCode::numeric_code method.
  • independent - Adds the CountryCode::independent method.
  • status - Adds the CountryCode::status method.
  • full_name - Adds the CountryCode::full_name method.
  • local_names - Adds the CountryCode::local_short_name and CountryCode::local_full_name methods.
  • languages - Adds the CountryCode::administrative_language and CountryCode::languages methods (requires package codes-iso-639).
  • formerly - Adds the CountryCode::former_short_name and CountryCode::former_alpha_3_code methods.
  • part_2 - Adds the corresponding module and SubdivisionCode.
    • categories - Adds the SubdivisionCode::category_code method and SubdivisionCategoryCode type.
    • territories - Adds the TerritoryCode type.
    • languages - Adds the SubdivisionCode::name_language method.

Note that the method CountryCode::local_full_name requires both local_names and full_name features.

Refresh

While ISO licenses the 3166 tables freely, access to the whole data tables is via subscription, and so there is not currently a way to download the tables periodically to keep up-to-date.
