leafletjs Geocoding Web Service

Question

I would like to know if leafletjs has a Geocoding Web Service to get the coordinates of an address similar to the google one:

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false

Answer 1

LeafletJS itself is a library, not web service, so there is no leaflet geocoding service. But you can use some other alternatives:

• https://www.mapbox.com/geocoding/
