## What it is
A TypeScript geocoding library that adds address lookup (geosearch) to web applications, with ready-made controls for embedding in Leaflet maps. It works standalone without Leaflet via a provider architecture supporting many geocoding services like OpenStreetMap, Google, Bing, and Esri.

## Use cases
- add address autocomplete to a webshop order form
- search locations on a Leaflet map
- geocode user-entered addresses in a web app
- integrate multiple geocoding providers behind one API
- find nearest package delivery point by address

## When to choose
- you use Leaflet and need a search control
- you want provider-agnostic geocoding with many built-in providers
- you need a dependency-free address lookup that works without a map

## When to avoid
- you need offline or self-hosted geocoding without any external API
- you need reverse geocoding or batch geocoding at scale
- you're building a native mobile app rather than a web app

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: search-engine, geospatial, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: geocoding, leaflet, address-lookup, maps, typescript, nodejs, web-server
