Location to ZipCode API - JQuery ZipCode Autocompletion

This is a sample web project of how to implement a zip code autocomplete field.

The user starts writing a city name or zip code (postal code) and then a tooltip shows up with the matching cities.

This sample is only for US cities

THE SERVER NEEDS PHP TO RUN

Running the demo

You can run this demo using the php built-in server:

Customization

The data comes from a csv file downloaded from here: http://federalgovernmentzipcodes.us/

The data is sent as a plain JSON document back and forth, implementing security strategies is up to you.

We are using this plugin for the form autocompletion:
