All India Pincode Directory

The dataset for this can be downloaded from here.

This repository contains the code to clean the CSV data and convert it into a JSON format (optimized for MongoDB) conforming to the following schema:

interface PostOffice {
    state: string;
    district: string;
    offices: string[];
}

Necessity

This is useful for applications where we need to auto-fill the area, district, and state based on the pincode entered by the user. This can be used in e-commerce websites, address forms, etc.
