| Title: | Geocoding Inside R Based on a Dockerized Offline TIGER/Line Range Geocoder |
|---|---|
| Description: | Uses a local Docker installation to pull and run an offline geocoding container in the background. The geocode() function calls the container and aggregates the results, optionally using a cache for memoization. |

To prevent errors and optimize accuracy, please remove non alphanumeric characters from address strings prior to geocoding. In general, address cleaning is outside the scope of this package and should be completed prior to geocoding.
