About Route-Nova Zip-code - Java library
Zip-code is a library for calculating the distance between two zip
codes and finding all the records with x miles (or kilometers) of another zip code.
Currently, Zip-code support only PostgreSQL. Additional future support for other
databases will be added in future releases of Zip-code.
Zip-code is free software released under the terms of the new BSD license.
Zip-code was written in JAVA and Pl/PgSQL. It runs for testing purposes with
open-source US zip code data, that available for free at http://www.populardata.com
in CSV format.
The distance calculations are made by doing a great circle calculation on
longitude and latitude points provided by the census data.
The result is returned in kilometers or standard miles.
