Countries.World.Net

Overview

A simple nuget package designed to:

  • Retrieve a list of all countries.
  • Fetch specific details about a country using its identifier.

Features

  1. Get All Countries:

    • Retrieve a read-only list of all available countries, including their names and capitals.

  2. Get Country by ID:

    • Fetch detailed information about a specific country using its unique ID.

  3. Custom Exception Handling:

    • Throws a CountryNotFoundException when an invalid country ID is queried.

  4. Thread-Safe Initialization:

    • Ensures lazy and thread-safe initialization of country data.

Code Example

Here’s how you can use the package to display all countries and details of Afghanistan:

using World.Net;
using World.Net.Helpers;

Console.WriteLine("All Countries:");
var countries = CountryProvider.GetAllCountries();
foreach (var country in countries)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Name: {country.Name}, Capital: {country.Capital}");
}

Console.WriteLine("\nDetails for Afghanistan:");
var afghanistan = CountryProvider.GetCountry(CountryIdentifier.AfghanistanId);
Console.WriteLine($"Official Name: {afghanistan.OfficialName}, Capital: {afghanistan.Capital}");
