# The C++ library for loading ICU data | |
This is the base library for loading ICU data. Please see the [header file](icu_data.h) for the | |
API. | |
The library provides the source file set, which can be used to link directly into a statically | |
compiled program, and a shared library target, which can be used to link into dynamically linked | |
programs. | |
For an example use in the `BUILD.gn` files, see the [build file for the rust | |
binding](../rust/BUILD.gn). |
