The timezone_to_country package provides an extension method to convert time zone identifiers (like 'Asia/Seoul') into their corresponding ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (like 'KR'). It simplifies geolocation logic by enabling developers to map time zones to countries efficiently. Built for Flutter, it supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Web, and Windows. The package is lightweight and designed for use in apps requiring time zone-based country resolution.
