Hey All,
Just wondering if there’s an existing package that would provide a Dict mapping ISO country codes (Alpha-2 or Alpha-3) to country names and possibly ISO numeric codes as well.
Thanks!

I managed to create such a Dict with:
using WorldBankData
dt = search_wdi("countries", "iso2c", r".")
iso2name = Dict([(dt[:iso2c][i], dt[:name][i]) for i in eachindex(dt[:iso2c])])
Not the most polished code, but you’d only need to run it once, then you can run show(iso2name) and copy the displayed code to a .jl-file if you want. A bit more effort would be required if you want to filter out non-country entries.

Neat. Thanks again!
I got MethodError: no method matching take!(::HTTP.Messages.Response) at WorldBankData.jl:19
on julia v0.6.
I fixed the error by replacing take!(request) by request.body, did anoyne else get this error?
I did, too. You should submit a PR?
A DataPackage for such a dataset exists. See https://github.com/datasets/country-list and https://github.com/datasets/country-codes
it should be possible to use such data with Julia using DataPackage.jl
