Description
Attempts to parse a string to an address. The parser is not perfect and works best on US addresses. Most likely other address formats can be parsed with the USAddressParser class by providing different constraints in the builder. This method is here for convenience in working with US addresses.
Parameters
- address The address to be parsed.
Return Values
Returns the parsed address, as a Address object.
