What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA") into geographic coordinates (like latitude 37.423021 and longitude -122.083739), which you can use to place markers or position the map. The Google Maps API Geocoding Service provides a direct way to access a geocoder via an HTTP request.

GeoGoogle is an address standardization API. It standardizes addresses by utilizing google's geocoding service. You get a free geocoder service and an address standardizer all thanks to google.
This project is a client API to google's geocoding service, if you are looking for a offline solution (which has no usage limit), take a look at jgeocoder.
