This app serves a simple purpose: forward and/or reverse geocoding a list of addresses. This app can forward geocode the given address (referred as "raw location") to obtain the latitude and longitude, and then optionally reverse geocode the latitude and longitude back to a more computer friendly address (referred as "verified location"). The resulted list of addresses can be exported as email text content in JSON format, or as a JSON file in email attachment. The result JSON file can also be opened in other iOS apps that accepts JSON files.
Input & Output:
Address can be added in app manually, or by using the "open in" method on a JSON file from other iOS apps.
The input and output JSON files are under the same rules and structure. At the top level its a JSON array, and each entry is a second level JSON array that represents a location. The second level array has to have either one or four elements. The first element is the required raw address , the second element is an optional verified address that is supposed to be more computer friendly (which could be left as blank ""), the third element is the latitude, and the fourth element is the longitude.
Note that the raw location and the verified location might be different.
Also note that if there is any imported location list has the same raw location as any entry in the existing in-app location list, then the imported entry will be ignored.
Sample JSON with four locations (the second and third entries are verified):
