Create an address finder and rooftop geocoder with JavaScript

This JavaScript example is designed to help you add Postcoder rooftop geocoding to your website, without the need to write your own code from scratch. It uses the pafaddressbase and address endpoints to look up addresses and their coordinates in the UK and Ireland. The UK address lookups use PAF and AddressBase data, and the Irish address lookups use Eircode data.
