ISBN Range Formatting

Input strings are being normalized to the official ISBN-13 format (ISO 2108). The correct hyphenation with respect to local agency groups and publisher codes as shown below is taken from the official range definition of the International ISBN Agency.

About this online service:

This site allows you to validate ISBNs online, parsing both the old ISBN-10 and the current ISBN-13 standard. Any correct ISBN will be formatted according to the standard and displayed. The live API previews of text, json, and svg image demonstrate various formats to get detailed information about an ISBN.

More information:

Each ISBN consists of the same parts: The EAN/UCC prefix defines the realm of numbers within the GTIN/EAN standard. The local agency's group code identifies the ISBN registration agency which owns a particular subset of ISBNs. Each group is registered with an agency name string that is returned by our API as well. The publisher code is assigned to each publishing company by their local ISBN agency. The book title number covers the remaining digits of the ISBN. The last character is the so called checkdigit to enable error recognition – changing a single digit in the whole ISBN string makes it invalid.

Our automatic CI/CD build pipeline system fetches an updated version of the official range definitions twice per month. Visit github.com/creativecouple/fast-isbn-validation-java for more technical details about fast-isbn – the world's fastest ISBN range validation library.
