libpostal is a C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world using statistical NLP and open data. For an overview of the research and thought process that went into building libpostal, check out the [introductory blog post](https://medium.com/@albarrentine/statistical-nlp-on-openstreetmap-b9d573e6cc86).
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.

The core library is written in pure C. Language bindings for [Python](https://github.com/openvenues/pypostal), [Ruby](https://github.com/openvenues/ruby_postal), [Go](https://github.com/openvenues/gopostal), [Java](https://github.com/openvenues/jpostal), [PHP](https://github.com/openvenues/php-postal), and [NodeJS](https://github.com/openvenues/node-postal) are officially supported and it's easy to write bindings in other languages.
