= iso_country_codes

== DESCRIPTION:

Provides ISO codes and names for countries.

== FEATURES:

* Search by name or code (alpha-2, alpha-3 or numeric)

== PROBLEMS:

== SYNOPSIS:

  # Finding an ISO code returns the country name and other code formats
  code = IsoCountryCodes.find('au')
  code.name    # => "Australia"
  code.numeric # => "036"
  code.alpha2  # => "AU"
  code.alpha3  # => "AUS"

  # Codes can be found via numeric, alpha-2 or alpha-3 format
  IsoCountryCodes.find(36)
  IsoCountryCodes.find('au')
  IsoCountryCodes.find('aus')

  # Codes can be found by country name
  IsoCountryCodes.find('australia')
