Geocoder is a complete geocoding solution for Ruby applications. It allows you to convert addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa (“reverse geocoding”). It integrates with ActiveRecord or other ORMs or plain Ruby, supports lookup via many external geocoding services (e.g. Google, Bing, OpenStreetMap), allows configuration of caching, timeouts, units, distance calculations, querying nearby objects etc. It’s used for location-based queries, mapping, etc.
Features
- Forward geocoding (address → coordinates) using many providers
- Reverse geocoding (coordinates → nearest address)
- Support for caching results to minimize repeated external requests
- Distance calculations, querying objects “near” a given coordinate, handling units (km, miles) etc.
- Pluggable geocoding providers; ability to specify which service to use, customization of API keys, timeouts, etc.
- Integration with Rails / ActiveRecord scopes to allow queries like Model.near(...) etc.
