Street abbreviation and word equivalence lists grouped by language and country. They help geocoders treat different spellings and short forms as the same word. Preserved after Mapbox deleted it.

Overview

geocoder-abbreviations is a set of word equivalence lists for street names, split by language and named by language code. Each group lists tokens with the same meaning, such as abbreviations and alternate spellings, so a geocoder can treat them as one word. It is available as a Node.js package and as a Rust crate from git. Mapbox deleted the original, and this copy preserves it.

Key features

  • JSON token groups per language in the tokens directory
  • Each group names a preferred full word and abbreviation
  • Optional properties restrict use by country, layer or type
  • Node.js function returns tokens by language; usable as a Rust crate

Best for

Geocoder builders who need language specific abbreviation data for addresses. The Rust crate is not on crates.io and must be added from git.
