Get country dial code in C#

After hours of searching I find probably the best source of data

https://datahub.io/core/country-codes

Script for data normalization in Powershell

$downloadedText = ($servers = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://pkgstore.datahub.io/core/country-codes/country-codes_json/data/616b1fb83cbfd4eb6d9e7d52924bb00a/country-codes_json.json").Content
$csvContent = $downloadedText | ConvertFrom-Json
$parsed = $csvContent | Select-Object @{N="Code"; E={$_."ISO3166-1-Alpha-2"}}, @{N="Dial"; E={$_.Dial.Replace("-","")}} | Where-Object { -not ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($_.Code) -or [string]::IsNullOrEmpty($_.Dial)) }
$parsed | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File "D:\DialCodes.json" -Encoding utf8

Data output example

[
    {
        "Code":  "TW",
        "Dial":  "886"
    },
    {
        "Code":  "AF",
        "Dial":  "93"
    },
    ......
]

And finally code example how to process data

namespace Example
{
    public class DialCodes
    {
        // sorted from longest to shortest

        private static SortedDictionary<string, string> _dialCodes = new SortedDictionary<string, string>(new DialCodeComparer());

        private class DialCodeComparer : IComparer<string>
        {
            public int Compare(string x, string y) => 
                (x.Length == y.Length) ? y.CompareTo(x) : y.Length.CompareTo(x.Length);
        }

        private struct CountryDialCode
        {
            public string Code { get; set; }
            public string Dial { get; set; }
        }

        static DialCodes()
        {
            List<CountryDialCode> parsedData;
            
            using (var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("Example.DialCodes.json"))
            {
                using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
                {
                    parsedData = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<List<CountryDialCode>>(reader.ReadToEnd());
                }
            }

            foreach (var item in parsedData)
            {
                var splitted = item.Dial.Split(",");

                foreach (var dial in splitted)
                {
                    _dialCodes[dial] = item.Code;
                }
            }
        }

        public (string CountryCode, string DialCode, string LocalPart) ParsePhoneNumber(string phoneNumber)
        {
            int baseIndex = 0;

            if (phoneNumber.StartsWith("00"))
            {
                baseIndex = 2;
            }
            else if (phoneNumber.StartsWith("+"))
            {
                baseIndex = 1;
            }

            if (baseIndex > 0)
            {
                foreach (var dialCode in _dialCodes)
                {
                    int prefixLength = dialCode.Key.Length + baseIndex;
                    int index = baseIndex;

                    if (phoneNumber.Length >= prefixLength)
                    {
                        var found = true;

                        foreach (char c in dialCode.Key)
                        {
                            if (phoneNumber[index++] != c)
                            {
                                found = false;
                                break;
                            }
                        }

                        if (!found) continue;

                        return (
                            dialCode.Value,
                            phoneNumber.Substring(0, prefixLength),
                            phoneNumber.Substring(prefixLength)
                        );
                    }
                }
            }

            return (null, null, phoneNumber);

Get vector (svg) country flag in c#

Simple class to retrieve country flag by its country code. Archive contains normalized vector country flags (svg format) from different sources.

    public static class CountryFlags

        public static IEnumerable<string> AllFlagsResourceNames =&gt; 
            Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames().Where(r =&gt; r.Contains("CountryFlags.Images"));

        {
            return $"Examle.CountryFlags.Images.{countryCode.ToLower()}.svg";
        }

        public static Stream GetFlagAsStream(string countryCode)
        {
            return Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(GetResourceName(countryCode));
        }

        public static byte[] GetFlagAsByteArray(string countryCode)

            var stream = GetFlagAsStream(countryCode);
            byte[] result = new byte[stream.Length];
