🔍 Fast lookup using prefix matching (longest match wins)

📞 Supports country calling codes, including national variants (e.g. 1809, 55)

🏳️ Flag images embedded as Base64-encoded SVG

🔌 Designed for easy integration with Phoenix LiveView or CLI apps

📁 Automatically downloads and parses latest data from Wikipedia
