Is there an open source java enum of ISO 3166-1 country codes

Jason Jenkins picture Jason Jenkins · Sep 26, 2008 · Viewed 77.3k times · Source

Does anyone know of a freely available java 1.5 package that provides a list of ISO 3166-1 country codes as a enum or EnumMap? Specifically I need the "ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code elements", i.e. the 2 character country code like "us", "uk", "de", etc. Creating one is simple enough (although tedious), but if there's a standard one already out there in apache land or the like it would save a little time.

Now an implementation of country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2/alpha-3/numeric) list as Java enum is available at GitHub under Apache License version 2.0.

Example:

CountryCode cc = CountryCode.getByCode("JP");

System.out.println("Country name = " + cc.getName());                // "Japan"
System.out.println("ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code = " + cc.getAlpha2());   // "JP"
System.out.println("ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code = " + cc.getAlpha3());   // "JPN"
System.out.println("ISO 3166-1 numeric code = " + cc.getNumeric());  // 392

CountryCode enum was packaged into com.neovisionaries.i18n with other Java enums, LanguageCode (ISO 639-1), LanguageAlpha3Code (ISO 639-2), LocaleCode, ScriptCode (ISO 15924) and CurrencyCode (ISO 4217) and registered into the Maven Central Repository.
