Draft: v3

Next version aims to cover feature requests and data expansion (but still distribute minimal packages for common use cases).

Planned changes

Country

• Alpha-3 codes
• Alternate country names (official names often differ from commonly used)
• Official & spoken languages
• Regions
• Time Zones
• Parent country (some ISO codes are actually a region inside another country)

Data Structure

Main Country object will have a native sub-tree for the same structure as main Country has:

{
  "name": "",
  "capital": "",

  "native": {
    "name": "",
    "capital": ""
  }
}

Some string fields are to be converted to arrays (phone codes, continents: see transcontinental countries).

Add per-country JSON (CSV) files.

Add per-country region JSON (CSV) files.

(Probably) Add per-country geo-data JSON files.

Add info on use cases and recommended examples of usage.

Add info of related locales (some language codes are related with very high percentage, like in Norway).
