It provides an abstraction layer for geocoding manipulations. The library is split in two parts: `HttpAdapter` and `Provider` and is really extensible. [![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/1971e06f55456caecadf5fb297aa7f7ac695ae7eca77bb3f4fb4899feb1dcb93/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f67656f636f6465722d7068702f47656f636f6465722e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/geocoder-php/Geocoder) ### HttpAdapters [](#httpadapters) *HttpAdapters* are responsible to get data from remote APIs. Currently, there are the following adapters: - `BuzzHttpAdapter` to use [Buzz](https://github.com/kriswallsmith/Buzz), a lightweight PHP 5.3 library for issuing HTTP requests; - `CurlHttpAdapter` to use [cURL](http://php.net/manual/book.curl.php); - `GuzzleHttpAdapter` to use [Guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle), PHP 5.3+ HTTP client and framework for building RESTful web service clients; - `SocketHttpAdapter` to use a [socket](http://www.php.net/manual/function.fsockopen.php); - `ZendHttpAdapter` to use [Zend Http Client](http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/modules/zend.http.client.html). ### Providers [](#providers) *Providers* contain the logic to extract useful information. Currently, there are many providers for the following APIs: - [FreeGeoIp](http://freegeoip.net/static/index.html) as IP-Based geocoding provider; - [HostIp](http://www.hostip.info/) as IP-Based geocoding provider; - [IpInfoDB](http://www.ipinfodb.com/) as IP-Based geocoding provider (city precision); - [Google Maps](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [Google Maps for Business](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/webservices) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [Bing Maps](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701715.aspx) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [OpenStreetMap](http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider (based on the Nominatim provider); - [Nominatim](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [CloudMade](http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/geocoding-http-api) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [Geoip](http://php.net/manual/book.geoip.php), the PHP extension, as IP-Based geocoding provider; - ChainProvider is a special provider that takes a list of providers and iterates over this list to get information; - [MapQuest](http://open.mapquestapi.com/) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [OIORest](http://geo.oiorest.dk/) as very accurate Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider (exclusively in Denmark); - [GeoCoder.ca](http://geocoder.ca/) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider (exclusively in USA & Canada); - [GeoCoder.us](http://geocoder.us/) as Address-Based geocoding provider (exclusively in USA); - [IGN OpenLS](http://www.ign.fr/) as Address-Based geocoding provider (exclusively in France); - [DataScienceToolkit](http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org/) as IP-Based geocoding provider or an Address-Based provider (exclusively in USA & Canada); - [Yandex](http://api.yandex.com.tr/maps/doc/geocoder/desc/concepts/About.xml) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [GeoPlugin](http://www.geoplugin.com/webservices) as IP-Based geocoding provider; - [GeoIPs](http://www.geoips.com/developer/geoips-api) as IP-Based geocoding provider; - [MaxMind web service](http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/web-services) as IP-Based geocoding provider (City/ISP/Org and Omni services); - [MaxMind binary file](http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/downloadable) as IP-Based geocoding provider; - [Geonames](http://www.geonames.org/) as Place-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [IpGeoBase](http://ipgeobase.ru/) as IP-Based geocoding provider (very accurate in Russia); - [Baidu](http://developer.baidu.com/map/geocoding-api.htm) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider (exclusively in China); - [TomTom](http://developer.tomtom.com/docs/read/Geocoding) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider; - [ArcGIS Online](http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-online-geocoding-rest-api/) as Address-Based geocoding and reverse geocoding provider. The [Geocoder Extra](https://github.com/geocoder-php/geocoder-extra) library contains even more providers! Installation ------------ [](#installation) The recommended way to install Geocoder is through composer. Just create a `composer.json` file for your project: ``` { "require": { "willdurand/geocoder": "@stable" } } ``` **Protip:** you should browse the [`willdurand/geocoder`](https://packagist.org/packages/willdurand/geocoder)page to choose a stable version to use, avoid the `@stable` meta constraint. And run these two commands to install it: ``` $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php $ composer install ``` Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library: ```
