Firell.Standards 1.0.0

International Standards

Working with international standards data can be tricky. It is often hard to find and even harder to keep up to date across multiple projects. This library gives .NET developers a straightforward alternative to building or collecting their own data. Its simple interface lets you access a wide range of information with minimal code.

The library is broken into smaller NuGet packages so you can pick only the standards you need, keeping your projects lean and clutter-free. If you want everything, the main package bundles all sub-packages for convenience.

• Firell.Standards
• Firell.Standards.ISO3166
• Firell.Standards.ISO4217

ISO 3166

This package includes international standard country codes, along with related information that may be useful in different contexts.

Features

• Country codes (numeric, alpha-2, alpha-3)
• Common, official and native country names
• Regions and capital cities
• Spoken languages and active currencies
• International dialing codes

Usage

Get countries & regions

Access the list of countries or regions using predefined properties in the ISO3166 class, or filter countries by region.

var countries = ISO3166.Countries;
var regions = ISO3166.Regions;
var europe = ISO3166.GetCountriesByRegion(Region.Europe);
var northernEurope = ISO3166.GetCountriesBySubregion(Subregion.NorthernEurope);

Alternatively, you can get specific countries using their predefined country property or their international codes:

var canada = CountryInfo.Canada;
var germany = ISO3166.GetCountryByCode("276");
var denmark = ISO3166.GetCountryByCode("DK");
var unitedStates = ISO3166.GetCountryByCode("USA");

Models

public record CountryInfo
{
    public string CommonName { get; init; }
    public string CommonNativeName { get; init; }
    public string OfficialName { get; init; }
    public string OfficialNativeName { get; init; }
    public string NumericCode { get; init; }

    public Dictionary<string, string> Languages { get; init; }
    public Dictionary<string, string> Currencies { get; init; }
    public string DialingCode { get; init; }
}

Each model includes a custom string representation for easy printing and debugging:

ISO 4217

This package includes international standard currency codes, along with related information that may be useful in different contexts.

Features

• Currency codes (numeric, alphabetic)
• Official, native, and common currency names
• Currency symbols
• Minor units
• Country associations
• Commodities and specialized currencies

Usage

Access the different lists of currencies using predefined properties in the ISO4217 class.

var currencies = ISO4217.Currencies;
var specializedCurrencies = ISO4217.SpecializedCurrencies;
var commodities = ISO4217.Commodities;

Alternatively, you can get specific currencies using their predefined currency property or their international codes:

var euro = CurrencyInfo.Euro;
var danishKrone = ISO4217.GetCurrencyByCode("DKK");
var unitedStatesDollar = ISO4217.GetCurrencyByCode("840");
