Development

Updating the ISO-4217 dataset

To update the dataset that is used to test the ISO-4217 compliance of the library, first run the script below.

./scripts/extract_data.sh

It downloads the latest currency dataset from the website of the standard’s maintainer and converts it to a JSON file at test/data/currencies.json.

Then, to validate the compliance of the library, run the test suite.
