In particular, the XML is designed so that you can read in a CLDR XML file and interpret it as an unordered list of <path,value> pairs, called a CLDRFile internally. These path/value pairs can be added to or deleted, and then the CLDRFile can be written back out to disk, resulting in a valid XML file. That is a very powerful mechanism, and also allows for the CLDR inheritance model.''</ref><br />

The '''Common Locale Data Repository''' ('''CLDR''') is a project of the [[Unicode Consortium]] to provide [[Locale (computer software)|locale]] data in [[XML]] format for use in computer applications. CLDR contains locale-specific information that an [[operating system]] will typically provide to applications.<br />
CLDR is written in the '''Locale Data Markup Language''' ('''LDML''').<br />
<br />
CLDR is maintained by a technical committee which includes employees from IBM, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and some government-based organizations. The committee is chaired by John Emmons, of IBM; [[Mark Davis (Unicode)|Mark Davis]], of Google, is vice-chair.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cldr.unicode.org/index/process#TOC-Officers|title = Unicode CLDR - CLDR Process}}</ref><br />
==Details==<br />
Among the types of data that CLDR includes are the following:<br />
* Translations for language names<br />
* Translations for territory and country names<br />
* Translations for currency names, including singular/plural modifications<br />
* Translations for [[weekday]], [[month]], [[era]], period of day, in full and abbreviated forms<br />
* Translations for time zones and example cities (or similar) for time zones<br />
* Translations for calendar fields<br />
* Patterns for formatting/parsing dates or times of day<br />
* Exemplar sets of characters used for writing the language<br />
* Patterns for formatting/parsing numbers<br />
* Rules for language-adapted [[collation]]<br />
* Rules for spelling out [[Numeral (linguistics)|numbers as words]]<br />
* Rules for formatting numbers in traditional numeral systems (such as [[Roman numerals|Roman]] and [[Armenian numerals]])<br />
* Rules for [[transliteration]] between scripts, much of it based on [[BGN/PCGN romanization]]<br />
<br />
The information is currently used in [[International Components for Unicode]], [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s [[macOS]], [[LibreOffice]], [[MediaWiki]], and [[IBM]]'s [[IBM AIX|AIX]], among other applications and operating systems. <br />
<br />
CLDR overlaps somewhat with [[ISO/IEC 15897]] ([[POSIX]] locales). POSIX locale information can be derived from CLDR by using some of CLDR's conversion tools.<br />
<br />
The CLDR covers 400+ languages.<ref name="coverage">{{Cite web|url=https://unicode-org.github.io/cldr-staging/charts/41/supplemental/locale_coverage.html|title = Locale Coverage}}</ref><br />
