StateFormatUS

What a validated US state comes back as: the two-letter code or the full name.

CkUS.State understands a state written either way — "ca", "California", " NEW YORK " — so StateFormatUS never affects what is accepted, only the shape of the answer. Code gives you the two-letter USPS code (the abbreviation the US Postal Service puts on mail, like "CA"); Name gives you the full name, like "California". Codes suit storage and comparisons; names suit anything a person will read.

Where it is used

The State method on CkUS takes it as its output parameter. That method covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the five inhabited territories and the three military designations, and answers each of them in whichever shape you ask for.
