PhoneNumberKit
A Swift framework for parsing and formatting phone numbers
Swift 5.3 framework for parsing, formatting and validating international phone numbers. Inspired by Google's libphonenumber. Import PhoneNumberKit at the top of the Swift file that will interact with a phone number. All of your interactions with PhoneNumberKit happen through a PhoneNumberKit object. The first step you should take is to allocate one. A PhoneNumberKit instance is relatively expensive to allocate (it parses the metadata and keeps it in memory for the object's lifecycle), you should try and make sure PhoneNumberKit is allocated once and deallocated when no longer needed. To parse a string, use the parse function. The region code is automatically computed but can be overridden if needed. PhoneNumberKit automatically does a hard type validation to ensure that the object created is valid, this can be quite costly performance-wise and can be turned off if needed. -

go-textile
Infrastructure for building composable apps and services on the IPFS
Textile provides encrypted, recoverable, schema-based, and cross-application data storage built on IPFS and libp2p. We like to think of it as a decentralized data wallet with built-in protocols for sharing and recovery, or more simply, an open and programmable iCloud. Textile is still under heavy development and no part of it should be used before a thorough review of the underlying code and an understanding that APIs and protocols may change rapidly. There may be coding mistakes and the underlying protocols may contain design flaws. Please let us know immediately if you have discovered a security vulnerability. Textile is a set of tools and trust-less infrastructure for building censorship-resistant and privacy-preserving applications. While interoperable with the whole IPFS peer-to-peer network, Textile-flavored peers represent an additional layer or sub-network of users, applications, and services. -

libphonenumber
Library for parsing and validating international phone numbers
Google's common Java, C++ and JavaScript library for parsing, formatting, and validating international phone numbers. The Java version is optimized for running on smartphones, and is used by the Android framework since 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). libphonenumber gets the type of the number based on the number itself; able to distinguish Fixed-line, Mobile, Toll-free, Premium Rate, Shared Cost, VoIP, Personal Numbers, UAN, Pager, and Voicemail (whenever feasible). Provides valid example numbers for all countries/regions, with the option of specifying which type of example phone number is needed. Quickly guesses whether a number is a possible phone number by using only the length information, much faster than a full validation. To include the Java code in your application, either integrate with Maven (see wiki) or download the latest jars from the Maven repository. -
