The returned address format

Batch API returns matched addresses in the format that you specify. You can decide which address elements appear on which line, and which elements are capitalized or abbreviated. Batch API always returns address elements using the string data type, even when there are fields which may only contain numeric data.
You define the output address format in the configuration file.

Some countries have several versions of an address element (for example, the Netherlands has NEN, TPG and Official street names). Batch API uses the version supplied in the input to secure a match and returns the version configured in the output. For this reason, an address can be verified as correct even if there appear to be differences between the input and output addresses.
