Currencies Open Base Data

How To Use

npm install @openbasedata/currencies

data.json contains currency metadata with code, name, and symbol, etc.

Other localized translations are split into /translations/<locale>.json (one language per file) to keep the main dataset smaller.

Translations

Translations are stored in /translations, one file per locale (for example: /translations/zh-Hans.json, /translations/fr.json). English is stored directly in data.json.

Each translation file has this structure:

{
  "CNY": {
    "name": "Chinese Renminbi Yuan"
  }
}
