It uses a parallelized K-D tree for spatial lookups, making it faster than earlier reverse-geocoding approaches. The package returns structured data including place name, country code, and hierarchical administrative divisions.\n\nThe library is designed for batch lookups of multiple coordinates at once. It requires no network calls and operates entirely from bundled or custom data sources. However, the package has been abandoned since its last release in 2016-09-15, with no updates to address Python version changes or data freshness, making it a legacy tool that may require manual maintenance or verification before use in production environments.","worth_installing":"No, not recommended for new projects. The package is abandoned (last release 2016-09-15), has high install friction, and python_support is unspecified. While it has no known vulnerabilities and lgpl licensing is transparent, the lack of maintenance and unclear Python compatibility make it a risky choice for production use."},"id":"reverse-geocoder","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/reverse-geocoder","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/reverse-geocoder.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/reverse-geocoder/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-09-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"reverse_geocoder","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Fast, offline reverse geocoder"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":374055,"position":7150,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.1"}
