public final class PostalAddress extends GeneratedMessageV3 implements PostalAddressOrBuilder
Represents a postal address, e.g. for postal delivery or payments addresses.
Given a postal address, a postal service can deliver items to a premise, P.O.
Box or similar.
It is not intended to model geographical locations (roads, towns,
mountains).
In typical usage an address would be created via user input or from importing
existing data, depending on the type of process.

getAddressLines(int index)
public String getAddressLines(int index)
Unstructured address lines describing the lower levels of an address.
Because values in address_lines do not have type information and may
sometimes contain multiple values in a single field (e.g.
"Austin, TX"), it is important that the line order is clear. The order of
address lines should be "envelope order" for the country/region of the
address. In places where this can vary (e.g. Japan), address_language is
used to make it explicit (e.g. "ja" for large-to-small ordering and
"ja-Latn" or "en" for small-to-large). This way, the most specific line of
an address can be selected based on the language.
The minimum permitted structural representation of an address consists
of a region_code with all remaining information placed in the
address_lines. It would be possible to format such an address very
approximately without geocoding, but no semantic reasoning could be
made about any of the address components until it was at least
partially resolved.
Creating an address only containing a region_code and address_lines, and
then geocoding is the recommended way to handle completely unstructured
addresses (as opposed to guessing which parts of the address should be
localities or administrative areas).
repeated string address_lines = 9;
| Name | Description |
index | int
The index of the element to return.

Returns
| Type | Description |
String | The addressLines at the given index.

getAdministrativeArea()
public String getAdministrativeArea()
Optional. Highest administrative subdivision which is used for postal
addresses of a country or region.
For example, this can be a state, a province, an oblast, or a prefecture.
Specifically, for Spain this is the province and not the autonomous
community (e.g. "Barcelona" and not "Catalonia").
Many countries don't use an administrative area in postal addresses. E.g.
in Switzerland this should be left unpopulated.
string administrative_area = 6;
| Type | Description |
String | The administrativeArea.

getLanguageCode()

to the correctness of the data and will never affect any validation or
other non-formatting related operations.
If this value is not known, it should be omitted (rather than specifying a
possibly incorrect default).
Examples: "zh-Hant", "ja", "ja-Latn", "en".

String | The languageCode.
