Changelog
4.0.0
- the reverse lookup feature was removed (retrieving currency given a symbol) because there is not a deterministic way to do so (i.e. the same symbol is used by multiple currencies).
- in previous versions, an unsuccessful lookup would return the
'?'
character. It now returnsundefined
so that it is up to you how to handle the failure.
