FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Usage
Collections
Arrays of administrative divisions (countries, states or cities) are returned as collections – a modern way of implementing arrays. Some of the available methods are:
Common methods on division objects
All objects can do the following:
You can access information in a number of ways, do whatever you are comfortable with:
Subdivision standards
By default, we will use ISO-3166-1 country and ISO 3166-2 state classification. Therefore, countries or states that don't have ISO codes are not visible by default. Please note that FIPS 10-4 is a deprecated (abandoned) standard. It's better not to rely on it – new states and/or countries won't appear in FIPS.
You can change subdivision standard with method:
This will affect and output.
Earth API
Earth object got the following convenience methods:
By default, we will use ISO 3166-1 country classification.
Country API
Country objects got the following encapsulated data:
Geonames, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, alpha-3 and numeric codes are four viable options to reference country in your data store.
State API
At this moment Geographer only keeps cities with population above 50,000 for the sake of performance.
Geonames, ISO 3166-2 and FIPS are all unique codes so all three can be used to reference states in your data store.
City API
Geonames ID is currently the only viable option to reference a city in your data store.
Integrations with frameworks
Current coverage: subdivisions
| Type | ISO 3166 | FIPS | Geonames | GENC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Countries | 100% | Coming soon | 100% | TBC |
| States | 100% | Coming soon | 100% | TBC |
Subdivision data is kept in a separate repo - geographer-data so that it may be reused by different language SDKs.
Current coverage: translations
By default Geographer assumes that you use Packagist (Composer) to install language packages, therefore we will expect them in vendor/ folder. There is no need to manually turn on an extra language, but if you attempt to use a non-existing language – expect an exception.
| Language | Countries | States | Cities | Package |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | 100% | 100% | 100% | geographer-data |
| Russian | 100% | 100% | 63% | geographer-ru |
| Ukrainian | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | geographer-uk |
| Spanish | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | geographer-es |
| Italian | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | geographer-it |
| French | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | geographer-fr |
| German | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | geographer-de |
| Chinese Mandarin | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | geographer-zh |
| Danish | ✓ | - | - | geographer-da |
English texts are included in the data package and are used as default metadata.
Vision
Our main principles and goals are:
- Be lightweight and independent – so that this package can be pulled anywhere alone
- Coverage – Geographer should cover all countries and languages
- Be extensible – developers should be able to override and extend easily
Performance
While not a number one priority at this stage, we will try maintain reasonable CPU and memory performance. Some benchmarks:
Inflating a city based on its Id
Time: 6 ms, memory: 81056 bytes
Video tutorials
I've just started a educational YouTube channel that will cover top IT trends in software development and DevOps: config.sys
Todo
- Add a basic spatial index
- Add some unit tests (in addition to existing integration tests)
- Add coverage information for language packages
