Geocoder is a geocoding library, written in python, simple and consistent.

![][providers]

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.

Consistant JSON responses from various providers.

```python
>>> g = geocoder.google('New York City')
>>> g.latlng
[40.7127837, -74.0059413]
>>> g.state
'New York'
>>> g.json
...
```

## Installation

To install Geocoder, simply:

```bash
$ pip install geocoder
```
