An open dataset of world countries per ISO 3166-1, distributed in JSON, CSV, XML, and YAML formats with rich attributes like codes, currencies, languages, capitals, borders, and area. It also includes GeoJSON/TopoJSON outlines and SVG flags, packaged for npm and Packagist.

Use cases

  • get a list of all world countries with ISO codes
  • country dropdown data for a form
  • map ISO country codes to names and currencies
  • download country borders as GeoJSON
  • find a country's capital, languages, and calling codes
  • country flags in SVG for an app

When to choose

  • you need structured, multi-format country reference data
  • you want ISO 3166-1 codes plus currencies, languages, and borders in one dataset
  • you need GeoJSON outlines or SVG flags

When to avoid

  • you need frequently updated demographic or population statistics
  • you need postal codes or city-level data
  • you need real-time geopolitical status beyond the dataset's snapshot
