ISO2 country code from country name

Is there an easy way in Java to get the ISO2 code from a given country name, for example "CH" when given "Switzerland"?

The only solution I can think of at the moment is to save all the country codes and names in an array and iterate over it. Any other (easier) solutions?

You can use JCountry which is an open source library containing the ISO 3166-1 codes, and it's corresponding country name translations to different languages. It is a wrapper for the debian iso-codes info. It also contains the iso codes for languages (iso 639-2) and the corresponding language name translations.

Basically you can get a hash map of <"country Name" to "country info"> and look for it.

You can do it the other way around, by looking for a country info by using the alpha2 or alpha3 code. This library also has translations to country names but de default is english (also for the map suggested before).

Here is the repo in case you want to dig more: https://github.com/castmart/jcountry

JCountry jcountry = JCountry.getInstance();
CountryDB countryDB = jcountry.getCountriesDB();
// Get the countries DB hash maps <String, Country>
var dbByAlpha2 = countryDB.getCountriesMapByAlpha2();
var dbByAlpha3 = countryDB.getCountriesMapByAlpha3();
var dbByName = countryDB.getCountriesMapByName();

// Get Translations by language based locale 
Optional<ResourceBundle> bundle = countryDB.getCountriesTranslations(Locale.GERMAN);

// MX -> Mexiko
var translatedCountryName = bundle.get().getString(dbByAlpha2.get("MX").getName());

// Languages DB
LanguageDB languageDB = new LanguageDBImpl(true);
var dbByAlpha2 = languageDB.getLanguagesMapByAlpha2();

// Get Translations by language based locale 
Optional<ResourceBundle> bundle = languageDB.getLanguagesTranslations(Locale.GERMAN);

// Spanisch (Kastilisch)
var translatedCountryName = bundle.get().getString(dbByAlpha2.get("es").getName());

This is how to create sorted map containing english country name as key and ISO2 code as value:

static Map<String, String> countriesMap = Arrays.stream( Locale.getISOCountries() ).collect(
            Collectors.toMap( (String code)-> new Locale( "", code ).getDisplayCountry(Locale.ENGLISH),
                    Function.identity(),(o1, o2) -> o1, TreeMap::new ));

You can initiate it as statc fieled to avoid recalculation for every use.

I guess the easiest Java 8+ way is to use Java's Locale class.

Two simple methods to match every country in every language.

public static Optional<String> getCountryCodeByName(String name, String lang){
    Optional<Locale> locale = getLocaleByName(name,lang);
    return locale.map(Locale::getCountry);
}

public static Optional<Locale> getLocaleByName(String name, String lang){
    return Arrays.stream(Locale.getAvailableLocales())
            .filter(l -> l.getDisplayCountry(Locale.forLanguageTag(lang)).equalsIgnoreCase(name))
            .findFirst();
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println(getCountryCodeFromName("Switzerland"));
}

public static String getCountryCodeFromName(String country) {
    return Arrays.asList(Locale.getISOCountries())
            .stream()
            .map((s) -> new Locale("", s))
            .filter((l) -> l.getDisplayCountry().toLowerCase().equals(country.toLowerCase()))
            .findFirst()
            .map((l) -> l.getCountry().toLowerCase())
            .orElse("UNKNOWN");
}

note that you will walk the stream every time you call the method, it is more efficient to use a map or save the result in a lookup table

This is definitely the answer you are looking for, it is late but hopefully it will hepl someone

String[] isoCountries = Locale.getISOCountries();
    for (String country : isoCountries) {
        Locale locale = new Locale("en", country);
        String iso = locale.getISO3Country();
        String code = locale.getCountry();
        String name = locale.getDisplayCountry();
        System.out.println(iso + " " + code + " " + name);

    }

I have added the print statement so that you can get a good look at the result. You can substitute "CH" for that country variable in the third line and it will give you "Afghanistan".

CountryCode enum contained in com.neovisionaries:nv-i18n:1.11 (or later) has findByName methods to list up country codes whose names match a given pattern.

List<CountryCode> findByName(String regex);
List<CountryCode> findByName(Pattern pattern);

To get "CH" from "Switzerland":

String code =  CountryCode.findByName("Switzerland").get(0).name();

Use a Map, not an array, then you don't have to iterate over it, you just look it up.

O(1) vs O(n)

//Do this once
Map<String,Locale> map = new HashMap<String,Locale>();
for (Locale locale : Locale.getAvailableLocales()) {
  map.put(locale.getDisplayCountry(), locale);
}

You could use the built-in Locale class:

Locale l = new Locale("", "CH");
System.out.println(l.getDisplayCountry());

prints "Switzerland" for example. Note that I have not provided a language.

So what you can do for the reverse lookup is build a map from the available countries:

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    Map<String, String> countries = new HashMap<>();
    for (String iso : Locale.getISOCountries()) {
        Locale l = new Locale("", iso);
        countries.put(l.getDisplayCountry(), iso);
    }

    System.out.println(countries.get("Switzerland"));
    System.out.println(countries.get("Andorra"));
    System.out.println(countries.get("Japan"));
}

Nope, you've got the easy solution already: The array (or DB table, or a keyed structure like a hash map) solution is pretty much the standard way of doing this. I guess there may also be some web services available that can provide the list, but I think that would be overkill (its not worth relying on a third party system to be working for something this simple). Similar arrays would be used for lists of counties/provinces/states within a country if you needed that level of detail.

The only thing to beware of with that is if you're accepting the country name as user input, you'll need to watch for spelling errors, incorrect capitalisation, and using alternative names for countries (eg "Switzerland" could legitimately be referred to as "Schweiz" or "Suisse" or "The Swiss Confederation", or a number of other variants.

More commonly, user input is restricted to known country codes by providing a drop-list so that the user picks the country he wants and the program knows immediately that it is "CH". This also requires the same array to be in place, but is referenced in the other direction, and is more reliable (since there is only one possible code for each country).

Also note that although the list of countries in the world doesn't change much, it does change. You should make sure you keep it up-to-date.
