## What it is
A comprehensive dataset of Vietnamese administrative units covering all 34 provinces plus districts and wards, provided as SQL dumps and non-SQL formats (GeoJSON, MongoDB, Elasticsearch). It includes geospatial boundary data and is updated to track the latest government decrees on administrative restructuring.

## Use cases
- populate a database with Vietnamese provinces, districts, and wards
- get GeoJSON boundaries of Vietnamese provinces for map rendering
- build an address picker with Vietnamese administrative units
- import Vietnamese locality data into MongoDB or Elasticsearch
- look up ward and district codes for a Vietnamese province
- keep address data in sync with the latest Vietnam administrative decree

## When to choose
- you need accurate, decree-tracked Vietnamese administrative divisions in SQL or GIS formats
- you want geospatial boundaries (GeoJSON) alongside locality names and codes
- you need multiple database format exports (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch)

## When to avoid
- you need administrative divisions of countries other than Vietnam
- you need real-time official government data straight from the General Statistics Office
- you need historical administrative structures predating the tracked decrees

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
