A library providing up to date [CLDR](http://cldr.unicode.org/). Primarily as a requirement of [libphonenumber-for-php](https://github.com/giggsey/libphonenumber-for-php).

Reasoning
---------

[](#reasoning)

This was created because [libphonenumber-for-php](https://github.com/giggsey/libphonenumber-for-php) required the [intl](http://php.net/intl) extension to use the Geo Coder. The extension is not installed by default, and can be a hurdle for users. It also relies on the [CLDR](http://cldr.unicode.org) data provided by the Operating System, which is quite often out of date.

Generating data
---------------

[](#generating-data)

Data is compiled from the latest [CLDR Data](http://cldr.unicode.org/) as specified in [CLDR-VERSION.txt](CLDR-VERSION.txt). The [JSON](https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr-json) data is built into native PHP arrays.

It is not normally needed to compile the data, as this repository will always have the up to date CLDR data.

To manually compile the data, run the composer script 'build':

```
composer run build
```
