Java International Address Parsing

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good Java API for parsing addresses from various locales? This is an international app that needs to work in various places like Saudi Arabia and Germany.

systempuntout > I've read through that and didn't find much of use. One of the solutions put forward was a web based service, which I want to avoid if I can — Desolate Planet, Jan 25 '11 at 16:16
I should also mention that I'm on a rather old JDK for the mobile platform, so I don't have JDK 5 or 6, which JGeocoder requires — Desolate Planet, Jan 25 '11 at 16:19

See the following: Parse usable Street Address, City, State, Zip from a string

Regular expression for parsing mailing addresses

It seems that library you are looking for is not implemented yet. Probably you will implement it? :) I believe links I posted here can help you. Good luck.

Sorry. Here is yet another link: Java postal address parser

It is very useful! Go on this first.

Not much use for **internationalized** parsing. – Raedwald Jan 25 '11 at 16:47
