Fast Reverse Geocoder Lite - A simple but fast reverse geocoding API up to city granularity level.

Convert a geographic coordinate (latitude and longitude) into city, neighborhood name, wikipedia, wikidata, geocode, elevation, timezone, country, region and OSM tags.

This reverse geocoding API is ideal for applications which process location data (for example mobile GPS data) and need to correlate this quickly with real place names. 
It takes as input a Latitude, Longitude pair, and outputs either XML (default) or JSON text with the name of the nearest city/neighborhood and other regional information based on both Geonames.org and OpenStreetMap.org regional/city/neighborhood polygons.


Send a reverse geocoding request as per API spec: <url>/latitude,longitude
e.g., 
		http://13.235.89.72/51.4647,0.0079 (XML output - Default)
or
		http://13.235.89.72/51.4647,0.0079.json (JSON output)

Sample XML output:
