nv-i18n

Overview

nv-i18n solves the problem of handling international codes in Java applications: it provides ready-made, type-safe enums for country, language, script and currency codes so you do not have to build or maintain these lists yourself.

To install it, add the Maven or Gradle dependency shown below. To use it, reference the enums directly (e.g. CountryCode.JP.getName()); no setup or configuration is required. The library is read-only reference data and processes no untrusted input, so secure use simply means keeping the dependency up to date.

Package to support internationalisation/internationalization/i18n, containing enums for

• ISO 3166-1 Country
• ISO 639-1 Language
• ISO 15924 Script etc.
