Hi,

Does anyone know a library to compare addresses in Java ?

Something that would give equality on addresses, written in different ways.

For example, it should recognize that

"22 Acacia Avenue" and "22 acacia av." 

is the same address.

Of course, this can escalate a lot, that's why i'm asking.

Thanks in advance.
