Php Geocoding Kütüphanesi

Web servislerin sunduğu Geocoding hizmetlerini incelerken bir kütüphane ile karşılaştım. Bu kütüphane bir çok Geocoding servisini tek bir çatı altında toplamış. Alt seviyede end point tanımlamaları yapılmış. Size sadece  gerekiyorsa Api key gibi parametreleri oluşturmak kalıyor.  Desteklediği servislerin listesi şu şekilde.
