World Units of Measure 🌍📏

Welcome to the World Units of Measure repository, your go-to resource for all officially recognized units of measure, updated to the present day. This project is designed to be easy to use, flexible, and compatible with multiple formats, including CSV, JSON, PHP, and SQL, with added support for Laravel.

📁 Structure

The repository is divided into two main sections:

1. Levels and Categories: Organizes units of measure by groups.
2. Units of Measure: Provides a comprehensive list of all individual units (e.g., meters, kilograms) that are currently valid and in use globally.

📄 Dataset Details
