Normalizer / Parser for physical US addresses.

Disclaimer

you probably should use gopostal instead of this.

Motivation

Is your inherited legacy system getting you down?

Did you finally decide to throw up a quick Go API to wrap around some awful mess of Oracle stored procedures and un-touchable PHP scripts, only to find that "StreetName", "StreetType", "StreetDirection", etc. are individual fields in an overpriced database which doesn't have a proper GIS plugin?

Worried that you'll have to deal with splitting and normalizing addresses for all of your forms without creating separate fields for each item?

Me too.

So here you go.

golang-address's Issues

#123 is a totally valid way to say "house 123".

gotta fix that.

<House Number> <Street Type> <Street Type> fails.

100 Circle Drive

100 Road Street

100 Lane Road

100 Avenue Street

fails: "123 county rd 456"

rr addresses

At the moment they don't work. They're read as house numbers.

Another wildcard: 1234 1/2 Main Street

People like to put periods in their addresses.

"st." "rd." "dr."

We can't fix the people, so we have to fix the address.

fails: "123 county line rd"
