Add the list of company identifiers

[jferdelyi]

This is just a suggestion, I'm not sure if this is a good idea to incorporate into the project.

Maybe adding the list of company identifiers might be a good idea to convert the manufacturer data code into the company name string. The official list can be found here (in CSV): https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/assigned-numbers/company-identifiers/

The "problem" is that this list will continue to grow and that a regular update is necessary...

Good suggestion. Keeping the library updated shouldn't be hard. I'll add it to the list.

Hi,

I needed the same feature for my project and implemented a solutions a few months ago that could be use for this library.

Here : https://github.com/Yohannfra/generate_bluetooth_16_bits_uuid_json is a python script that parses the bluetooth sig pdf of all the uuid and generate a json that I update frequently (you can find it here

Once the json is generated it's trivial to parse it and use it as a map to find the names.

It has the company names but also all the 16-bit UUID of the standard services and characteristics

My bad it doesn't have the company identifiers but only the members, I will update it soon to also add the company identifiers from the csv

@Yohannfra FYI, I found this: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/bluetooth-numbers-database

Thanks for the link, this is much better than what I have I'll use this instead.
