PR #47 added parser package with Parse() and ToAddressRequest() helper functions but didn't update the main README. These functions handle free-form address parsing and will be frequently used.

Changes

Main README (README.md)

  • Added comprehensive table of contents with 11 main sections and 30+ subsections for easy navigation
  • Added "Address Parsing" section positioned before "Advanced Usage" (higher hierarchy than advanced topics)
  • Includes quick example, USPS API integration pattern, and common use cases
  • Links to detailed parser package README for comprehensive documentation

Godoc Enhancements (parser/parser.go, parser/types.go)

  • Enhanced Parse() to explain tokenization, standardization, and validation steps
  • Enhanced ToAddressRequest() to describe component combination into USPS API format

Example Usage

// Parse free-form address input
input := "123 North Main Street Apt 4B, New York, NY 10001-1234"
parsed, diagnostics := parser.Parse(input)

// Check for errors
for _, d := range diagnostics {
    if d.Severity == parser.SeverityError {
        return fmt.Errorf("parse error: %s", d.Message)
    }
}

// Convert to AddressRequest and validate with USPS
req := parsed.ToAddressRequest()
resp, err := client.GetAddress(ctx, req)
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Document New Helper Functions</issue_title>
<issue_description>New functions were added in this PR: https://github.com/my-eq/go-usps/pull/47/files

The README was not updated to describe and demonstrate these functions.
Double check their own comments are sufficient for developers and godoc

These helper functions will be used frequently and should be higher in the README hierarchy than other advanced topics.</issue_description>
