libpostal is a C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world using statistical NLP and open data. This [introductory blog post](https://medium.com/@albarrentine/statistical-nlp-on-openstreetmap-b9d573e6cc86) is a good overview of the research and thought process that went in.
Addresses and the locations they represent are essential for any application dealing with maps (place search, transportation, on-demand/delivery services, check-ins, reviews). Yet even the simplest addresses are packed with local conventions, abbreviations and context, making them difficult to index/query effectively with traditional full-text search engines. This library helps convert the free-form addresses that humans use into clean normalized forms suitable for machine comparison and full-text indexing. Though libpostal is not itself a full geocoder, it can be used as a preprocessing step to make any geocoding application smarter, simpler, and more consistent internationally.
