In crazybilly/muaddresses: MU Addresses

parse an address with libpostal. This depends on a running instance of libpostal with a REST API. Using a Docker image of libpostal_rest is recommended. Make sure that your Docker VM has at least 2GB of RAM available.

1 2	parse_address(serveraddress = "192.168.99.100:8080/parser", address, collapsestreet = T, simplify = T)

`serveraddress`	the address of a libpostal_rest server parser, by default 192.168.99.100:8080/parser
`address`	a character vector of addresses to parse. Each address should be a single item
`collapsestreet`	a logical value indicating whether house number and road name should be collapsed to addr1
`simplify`	a logical value indicating, if TRUE, that simple character vector should be returned, or if FALSE, a data frame should be returned

Use 'check_libpostal_docker()' to ensure that your docker image is running. If not, you can start it with 'start_libpostal_docker()'.

if simplify = TRUE, a character vector of addresses parsed by libpostal. If simplify = F, a data frame with up to 8 columns including: * house_number - usually refers to the external (street-facing) building number. * unit - apartment or suite number * po_box - post office box: typically found in non-physical (mail-only) addresses * road - street name(s) * city - name of the city * st - state abbreviation * zip - postal code
