Gisgraphy is production ready, and has been designed to be scalable(load balanced), performant and used in other languages than just java : results can be output in XML, JSON, PHP, Python, Ruby, YAML, GeoRSS, and Atom.

Free webservices:

  • Geocoding
  • Street Search
  • Fulltext Search
  • Reverse geocoding / street search
  • Find nearby

Services that you could use with smart phone apps or in creating topic map based collections of data that involve geographic spaces.
