# Geocoding

**Mapbox Geocoding** provides a convenient way to leverage the Mapbox [Geocoding API](https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/geocoding-v6/) in a web or Node environment. Create interactive, powerful search sessions enabling users to search for address and places.

Easy-to-use UI components can be dropped into websites as standalone elements or as part of a comprehensive map experience.
