I see a table of all the Hangul Syllables. Is there a machine readable format mapping the Hangul unicode values to their romanization / transliteration counterpart? There are so many syllables to do it manually.

    Depending on what you need it for, it's more complicated than it seems. E.g., characters 밀 and 양 will be transliterated to mil and yang, respectively, but due to the way Korean sounds work, 밀양 is transliterated into miryang. There are even a few cases where you can't reasonably do it algorithmically, like Seoul's 학여울 (Hangnyeoul) station.

Here I made one finally.

가,ㄱㅏ
각,ㄱㅏㄱ
갂,ㄱㅏㄲ
갃,ㄱㅏㄳ
간,ㄱㅏㄴ
갅,ㄱㅏㄵ

... Full thing here.

Combining Jamo unicodes with well-established romanization rules (such as Yale which is de facto standard in linguistics community), you might be able to come up with automatic romanization / de-romanization with some implementational tricks (e.g. syllable boundaries).
