worldref for C# (.NET)

Offline reference data for 242 countries and territories in Arabic and English: names, flags, dial plans, currencies, geography, subdivisions. Search, sorting and phone parsing behave identically to the JavaScript package.

The library targets net8.0 and has no dependencies beyond the base library. The data is embedded in the assembly.

Install

dotnet add package WorldRef

Usage

using WorldRef;

var sa = Dataset.Find("sa")!;                                   // case-insensitive
Console.WriteLine($"{sa.Flag} {sa.NameAr} / {sa.NameEn}");
var hits = Lookup.Search(Dataset.Countries, "السعودية", Lang.Ar); // best match first
var sorted = Lookup.SortCountries(Dataset.Countries, Lang.Ar, first: "SA");
var phone = Lookup.ParsePhone("0501234567", sa, Dataset.Countries);
Console.WriteLine($"{phone?.E164} valid={phone?.Valid} mobile={phone?.Mobile}");
Console.WriteLine(Lookup.IsValidMobile("+966501234567", sa, Dataset.Countries));
Console.WriteLine(Text.Normalize("المملكة العربية السعودية"));     // folded form used for matching
Console.WriteLine(Dataset.SubdivisionsOf("SA").Count);

Models are records (Country, PhonePlan, Currency, Subdivision, ...) with PascalCase properties mapped from the snake_case JSON fields, for example NameAr, Geo.AreaKm2, Phone[0].MobilePattern.

Tests

cd csharp && dotnet test

The suite loads tests/vectors.json from the repository root, so run it from a full checkout.
