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.
Informations about the package country-aliases
Country alias normalizer
This bundle packages the country alias lookup generated from the GeoNames datasets plus a thin PHP wrapper you can ship as a Composer package.
Structure
data/country_aliases.json– Map{normalized_name: "ISO2"}for every unambiguous alias.data/country_aliases.csv– Two-column CSV (normalized_name,iso2) mirroring the JSON.data/country_aliases_ambiguous.json– Optional file with aliases that match more than one ISO2 code so you can handle them manually.src/– PHP wrapper exposing a simple runtime API.
Regenerate the data by rerunning the build_country_aliases.py script you used earlier (or fetch the latest GeoNames exports, then rebuild using the same normalization logic). The script should still trim, uppercase, strip accents, and ignore alternate names that look like URLs (strings starting with HTTP/HTTPS) so the output only contains actual country spellings. Once regenerated, drop the new files back into data/.
The JSON file is best suited for programmatic use (load once, look up millions of rows in-memory); the CSV is easier to scan manually.
PHP wrapper
The CountryAliasResolver class in src/ loads data/country_aliases.json and exposes a lookup($value) method that returns the ISO2 code (or null when no match exists). Example:
Drop this repository into a Composer package (e.g., country-aliases/country-aliases), configure PSR-4 autoloading for src/, and you can normalize millions of dirty country strings with a single method call.
