Carrier
On this page
A shipping company by its two-to-four-letter code: UPSN, MAEU.
Use it to name a carrier, as part of a TrackingNumber or alone. Codes are the Standard Carrier Alpha Codes.
Shape
One value, held as text in one set form, with no parts: MAEU.
Example
Carrier("UPSN")Carrier(raw) checks the text, and text that isn't one breaks the format rule.
text.parse(raw, as: Carrier) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as upsn, UP5N or U.
Good to know
==tells you whether two are the same.<andlist.sort_bydon't take it.
In JSON
A string, in a request, a response or json.write:
"UPSN""MAEU"

Text form
text.from writes one standard text form, the same form text.parse reads back: UPSN and MAEU.
