[WIP] Geocoder3: Simple, Consistent

Release v2.0.0.

Simple and consistent geocoding library written in Python.

Many online providers such as Google & Bing have geocoding services, these providers do not include Python libraries and have different JSON responses between each other.

It can be very difficult sometimes to parse a particular geocoding provider since each one of them have their own JSON schema.

Here is a typical example of retrieving a Lat & Lng from Google using Python, things shouldn’t be this hard.

import requests
url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json'
params = {'sensor': 'false', 'address': 'Mountain View, CA'}
r = requests.get(url, params=params)
results = r.json()['results']
location = results[0]['geometry']['location']
location['lat'], location['lng']
# (37.3860517, -122.0838511)

Now lets use Geocoder to do the same task.

import geocoder
g = geocoder.google('Mountain View, CA')
g.latlng
# (37.3860517, -122.0838511)
