Validate Address Global - Parsing and Validation Enhancements for India
With the new release the parser checks the Indian address elements against the reference data to verify
their validity. The position of the elements within an address has little influence on the quality of the
output result. For example, if the localities within a given address are exchanged, the results will be returned
as validated correctly.

This release contains significant improvements to the way Japanese addresses are processed and validated.
Due to these changes, a new format for the Japanese database has been introduced. It should
be noted that to benefit from the new improved functionality, customers need to download the new
database for Japan.

formatting for Japanese addresses.
