DataMade maintains several core open source libraries that power many of our products and applications.
Parsing messy data
usaddress
A python library for parsing unstructured United States address strings into components like AddressNumber, StreetName and ZipCode.
probablepeople
A python library for parsing unstructured western name strings into components like GivenName, MiddleInitial, Surname, or Corporation.
parserator
Need to parse some messy text? We created a toolkit for making domain-specific probabilistic parsers. To create a parser, all you need is some training data to teach your parser about its domain. We used this framework to build usaddress and parserator.
Bonus! You can also parse names and addresses online without using any code. Check out parserator.datamade.us!
