Go package for working with names and RFC 5646 language tags in Who's On First documents.
You will need to have both Go (specifically a version of Go more recent than 1.6 so let's just assume you need Go 1.8 or higher) and the make programs installed on your computer. Assuming you do just type:
make bin
All of this package's dependencies are bundled with the code in the vendor directory.
Out of the box Who's On First name language tags are not RFC 5646 (sometimes called BCP 47) compliant.
This package follows the RFC 5646 (BCP 47) comformance and RFC 5646 (BCP 47) tag conversion rules defined in the whosonfirst-name repository for transiting between the two.
As of this writing that does not account for the fact that Who's On First uses private use (-x-SOMETHING) subtags that may be longer than the RFC 5646 limit of eight characters.
package main
import (
"flag"
"github.com/whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-names/tags"
"github.com/whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-names/utils"
"log"
)
func main() {
flag.Parse()
for _, raw := range flag.Args() {
langtag, _ := tags.NewLangTag(raw)
log.Println(langtag.String())
log.Println(utils.ToRFC5646(langtag.String()))
}
}
Error handling removed for the sake of brevity.
