ActiveAddress allows you to quickly and easily build Address Validation, Standardization and Parsing into your custom applications. Integrate postal address data from a wide variety of sources into a common format. ActiveAddress also performs an Address Quality Assessment allowing quick identification of critical data quality issues. Plus, no USPS database subscription is required.
ActiveAddress can process all types of addresses including Suite Numbers and City/State/Zip. A special Address_Quality flag is returned each time an address is processed allowing you to easily identify questionable addresses before they enter your system. Also returned is an Address_Type flag indicating the type of address being processed: Street, Military, PO Box, Rural Route, Highway Contract, General Delivery or Suite giving you flexibility in their handling. Plus, for a more appealing presentation, ActiveAddress can even set the proper capitalization.
ActiveAddress starts by carefully identifying each individual address component based on its context. Intuitive algorithms examine the results and a selection is made of the most complete and correct data. If needed, format corrections are made and the USPS recommended abbreviations are applied. Next, the Address_Quality flag is set to indicate how complete and correct the address is. Finally, the standardized address components are returned to your application along with a complete and cleansed composite address.
