Introduction to Geocoding Services
Geocoding involves converting addresses into geographic coordinates and vice versa, providing essential location-based data efficiently. The service focuses on the US and Canada, aiming to offer comprehensive information, including census data and congressional districts, all through a single API request. This streamlined approach alleviates the burden on developers who would otherwise have to interact with multiple APIs to obtain necessary data. By prioritizing developer happiness, the service minimizes hassle and enhances the overall user experience.
