## What it is
A PHP 7.3+ geo-related library built atop Geocoder and React, providing batch geocoding, coordinate conversion, distance/bearing computation, geohash encoding, and polygon point-in-polygon checks. It also ships a CLI for distance, point, geohash, and conversion operations.

## Use cases
- batch geocode addresses in parallel with PHP
- compute distance between two GPS coordinates
- convert decimal degrees to DMS or UTM
- encode and decode geohash strings
- check if a point is inside a polygon
- find the midpoint between two coordinates
- cache geocoder results with PSR-6

## When to choose
- you need geospatial math (distance, bearing, geohash, UTM) in a PHP project
- you want batch or cached geocoding across multiple providers
- you need a CLI for quick coordinate conversions and distance calculations

## When to avoid
- you need a full GIS engine like PostGIS or spatial SQL queries
- your project is not PHP-based
- you need map rendering or tile serving rather than coordinate computation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: geospatial, cli, caching, http-client
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: php, cli
- tags: geocoding, coordinates, distance, geohash, utm, polygon, reactphp, maps, geospatial, command-line
