-intl
-=====
-
-[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/commerceguys/intl.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/commerceguys/intl)
-
-A PHP 5.4+ internationalization library, powered by CLDR data.
-
-Features:
-- NumberFormatter, inspired by [intl](http://php.net/manual/en/class.numberformatter.php).
-- Currencies
-- Countries
-- Languages
-
-Coming soon: date formatting.
-
-Why not use the intl extension?
--------------------------------
-The intl extension isn't present by default on PHP installs, requiring
-it can hurt software adoption.
-Behind the scenes the extension relies on libicu which includes the CLDR dataset,
-but depending on the OS/distribution used, could be several major CLDR releases behind.
-
-Since the CLDR dataset is freely available in JSON form, it is possible to
-reimplement the intl functionality in pure PHP code while ensuring that the
-dataset is always fresh.
-
-Having access to the CLDR dataset also makes it possible to offer additional APIs,
-such as listing all currencies.
-
-More backstory can be found in [this blog post](https://drupalcommerce.org/blog/15916/commerce-2x-stories-internationalization).
-
-Formatting numbers
-------------------
-Formats numbers (decimals, percents, currency amounts) using locale-specific rules.
-
-This ensures that the decimal and grouping separators, the position of the currency
-symbol, as well as the actual symbol used match what the user is expecting.
-
-The amounts passed for formatting should already be rounded, because the
-formatter doesn't do any rounding of its own.
-
-```php
-use CommerceGuys\Intl\Currency\CurrencyRepository;
-use CommerceGuys\Intl\NumberFormat\NumberFormatRepository;
-use CommerceGuys\Intl\Formatter\NumberFormatter;
-
-$currencyRepository = new CurrencyRepository;
-$numberFormatRepository = new NumberFormatRepository;
-
-$currency = $currencyRepository->get('USD');
-$numberFormat = $numberFormatRepository->get('en');
-
-$decimalFormatter = new NumberFormatter($numberFormat);
-echo $decimalFormatter->format('1234.99'); // 123,456.99
-
-$percentFormatter = new NumberFormatter($numberFormat, NumberFormatter::PERCENT);
-echo $percentFormatter->format('0.75'); // 75%
-
-$currencyFormatter = new NumberFormatter($numberFormat, NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
-echo $currencyFormatter->formatCurrency('2.99', $currency); // $2.99
-
-// The accounting pattern shows negative numbers differently and is used
-// primarily for amounts shown on invoices.
-$invoiceCurrencyFormatter = new NumberFormatter($numberFormat, NumberFormatter::CURRENCY_ACCOUNTING);
-echo $invoiceCurrencyFormatter->formatCurrency('-2.99', $currency); // (2.99$)
-
-// Arabic, Arabic extended, Bengali, Devanagari digits are supported as expected.
-$currency = $currencyRepository->get('USD', 'ar');
-$numberFormat = $numberFormatRepository->get('ar');
-$currencyFormatter = new NumberFormatter($numberFormat, NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
-echo $currencyFormatter->formatCurrency('1230.99', $currency); // US$ ١٬٢٣٠٫٩٩
-
-// Parse formatted values into numeric values.
-echo $currencyFormatter->parseCurrency('US$ ١٬٢٣٠٫٩٩', $currency); // 1230.99
-```
-
-Currencies
-----------
-```php
-use CommerceGuys\Intl\Currency\CurrencyRepository;
-
-// Reads the currency definitions from resources/currency.
-$currencyRepository = new CurrencyRepository;
-
-// Get the USD currency using the default locale (en).
-$currency = $currencyRepository->get('USD');
-echo $currency->getCurrencyCode(); // USD
-echo $currency->getNumericCode(); // 840
-echo $currency->getFractionDigits(); // 2
-echo $currency->getName(); // US Dollar
-echo $currency->getSymbol(); // $
-echo $currency->getLocale(); // en
-
-// Get the USD currency using the fr-FR locale.
-$currency = $currencyRepository->get('USD', 'fr-FR');
-echo $currency->getName(); // dollar des États-Unis
-echo $currency->getSymbol(); // $US
-echo $currency->getLocale(); // fr-FR
-
-$allCurrencies = $currencyRepository->getAll();
-```
-
-Countries
----------
-```php
-use CommerceGuys\Intl\Country\CountryRepository;
-
-// Reads the country definitions from resources/country.
-$countryRepository = new CountryRepository;
-
-// Get the US country using the default locale (en).
-$country = $countryRepository->get('US');
-echo $country->getCountryCode(); // US
-echo $country->getTelephoneCode(); // 1
-echo $country->getName(); // United States
-
-// Get the US country using the fr-FR locale.
-$country = $countryRepository->get('US', 'fr-FR');
-echo $country->getName(); // États-Unis
-
-$allCountries = $countryRepository->getAll();
-```
-
-Languages
----------
-```php
-use CommerceGuys\Intl\Language\LanguageRepository;
-
-// Reads the language definitions from resources/language.
-$languageRepository = new LanguageRepository;
-
-// Get the german language using the default locale (en).
-$language = $languageRepository->get('de');
-echo $language->getLanguageCode(); // de
-echo $language->getName(); // German
-
-// Get the german language using the fr-FR locale.
-$language = $languageRepository->get('de', 'fr-FR');
-echo $language->getName(); // allemand
-
-$allLanguages = $languageRepository->getAll();
-```
-
-Implementing the library
-------------------------
-While the library can be used as-is, most applications will want to store the
-relevant definitions (currencies, countries, etc) in the database.
-This allows for better performance while giving users the ability to modify and
-expand the data.
-
-Taking currencies as an example, a merchant frequently wants to be able to:
-
-- Define custom currencies.
-- Enable/disable existing currencies
-- Modify an existing currency (changing the default number of fraction digits, for example).
-
-This would be accomplished by using the CurrencyRepository to get all default currencies and
-insert them into the database. The doctrine entity (or any similar data object) would then implement
-the CurrencyInterface so that the NumberFormatter can continue to work.
