AngryMonkey.CloudGeography 2.8.0

Cloud Geography

📦 New Package: This library is now available as AngryMonkey.CloudGeography on NuGet. This is the recommended package going forward with enhanced features, better performance, and comprehensive test coverage.

Summary

Cloud Geography is a .NET client library for geographic and financial data operations, including countries, currencies, languages, subdivisions, time zones, money, and international phone number parsing.

Migration Note: If you're using the legacy AngryMonkey.Cloud.Geography package, we recommend upgrading to AngryMonkey.CloudGeography for access to the latest features, including flexible country/currency/language search by name with alternative names support, and enhanced subdivision search with fuzzy matching.

Features

• Country lookup by code, name, alternative names, or calling code
• Country lookup by coordinates (requires Azure Maps API key)
• Country lookup by IP address (requires Azure Maps API key)
• Country guessing from phone numbers
• Currency lookup by code, name, or country
• Language lookup by code, name, or country
• Subdivision lookup by country code, name, or hierarchical queries
• Subdivision search with fuzzy matching and Arabic transliteration support
• Time zone lookup, conversion, and current time retrieval
• Money arithmetic helpers (add, subtract, decimal extraction)
• International phone number parsing and validation (country code, calling code, local number)
