Usage Recommendations

  1. Cache the enum file locally - Update daily or weekly since enum values don't change frequently
  2. Handle missing translations - Always provide a fallback to the enum ID if a translation is missing for a specific language
  3. Use appropriate enum types - Match the enum type to your use case (e.g., use amenities for hotel facilities, restaurant_dining_options for restaurant features)
  4. Support parameterized values - Some enum values (like award_names and other) include placeholders that require dynamic content insertion
