Coordinate Parser

The `coordinate-parser` library provides a flexible algorithm for parsing strings that contain geographical coordinates in a wide variety of formats. It supports numerous representations including Decimal Degrees (DD), Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DMS), Degrees-Decimal Minutes (DDM), and various 'exotic' formats like geographical milliseconds or compacted notations. The current stable version is 1.0.7, with the last release dating back to June 2017. As there have been no updates or maintenance activities since then, the package is effectively abandoned. A key differentiator is its robust input validation, which throws an error for any string that does not precisely conform to a recognized coordinate pattern, ensuring data integrity. It aims to simplify the extraction of latitude and longitude from complex user inputs into standardized decimal degree values.
