I created this repo as I wanted just the minimal dataset to import into other projects. It is based on the raw data from the excellent NodeJS project OpenBookPrices/country-data, is provided with the same LICENSE and features the following changes:

• CSV files have been CSV-linted and reformatted to 'Standard CSV'
• The files have all been JSON-linted and re-formatted slightly.
• Added minified (.min.json) version of each JSON file
• regions.js has been compiled into JSON and flattened down to 1 level
• regions.js has a new entry 'eurozone' for countries using the EURO (€)

Note that there is intentionally no regions.csv file.

The data currently provided for each country is:

• name The english name for the country
• alpha2 The ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 code
• alpha3 The ISO 3166-1 alpha 3 code
• status: The ISO status of the entry: either 'assigned' or 'reserved'.
• currencies An array of ISO 4217 currency codes with the primary one first
• languages An array of ISO 639-2 codes for languages (may not be complete).
• countryCallingCodes An array of the international call prefixes for this country.
• ioc The International Olympic Committee country code

Countries are ofter grouped into regions. The list of regions is by no means exhaustive, pull requests very welcome for additions.

• countries An array of alpha2 codes for the countries in this region.

It is not that useful to just have the currency code(s) for a country, so included is currency data too:

• name The english name for the currency
• code The ISO 4217 code
• number The ISO 4217 number
• decimals The number of decimal digits conventionally shown

A list of languages provided by ISO 639-2;

• name The english name for the language
• alpha2 The two letter ISO 639-1 code for the language (may be blank).
• alpha3 The three letter terminological ISO 639-2 code for the language (may be blank).
• bibliograpic The three letter bibliographic ISO 639-2 code for the language (may be blank).
