## Quick Start

### Format an Address

```python
from pyaddress import format_address

# Format an address
formatted = format_address({
    "house_number": "123",
    "road": "Main St",
    "city": "Anytown",
    "state": "CA",
    "country_code": "US",
    "postcode": "12345"
})

print(formatted)
# Output: 123 Main St
#         Anytown, California 12345
#         United States of America
```

### Format with Options

```python
# Format with options
formatted = format_address({
    "house_number": "123",
    "road": "Main Street",
    "city": "Anytown",
    "state": "California",
    "country_code": "US",
    "postcode": "12345"
}, options={
    "abbreviate": True,
    "add_country": False,
    "output_format": "array"
})

print(formatted)
# Output: 123 Main St
#         Anytown, CA 12345
```

### International Addresses

```python
# Format a UK address
uk_address = format_address({
    "house_number": "10",
    "road": "Downing Street",
    "city": "London",
    "postcode": "SW1A 2AA",
    "country_code": "GB"
})

print(uk_address)
# Output: 10 Downing Street
#         London
#         SW1A 2AA
#         United Kingdom

# Format a German address
de_address = format_address({
    "house_number": "1",
    "road": "Platz der Republik",
    "city": "Berlin",
    "postcode": "11011",
    "country_code": "DE"
})

print(de_address)
# Output: Platz der Republik 1
#         11011 Berlin
#         Germany
```

### Async Processing

```python
import asyncio
from pyaddress import format_address_async, format_batch_async

async def main():
    # Format a single address asynchronously
    formatted = await format_address_async({
        "house_number": "123",
        "road": "Main St",
        "city": "Anytown",
        "state": "CA",
        "country_code": "US"
    })
    print(formatted)

    # Process a batch of addresses asynchronously
    addresses = [
        {
            "house_number": "123",
            "road": "Main St",
            "city": "Anytown",
            "state": "CA",
            "country_code": "US"
        },
        {
            "house_number": "456",
            "road": "High St",
            "city": "Othertown",
            "state": "NY",
            "country_code": "US"
        }
    ]
    results = await format_batch_async(addresses)
    print(results)

asyncio.run(main())
```

### Special Cases

```python
# Address with a name
named_address = format_address({
    "name": "John Doe",
    "house_number": "123",
    "road": "Main St",
    "city": "Anytown",
    "state": "CA",
    "country_code": "US"
})

print(named_address)
# Output: John Doe
#         123 Main St
#         Anytown, California
#         United States of America

# PO Box
po_box = format_address({
    "po_box": "PO Box 1234",
    "city": "Anytown",
    "state": "CA",
    "postcode": "12345",
    "country_code": "US"
})

print(po_box)
# Output: PO Box 1234
#         Anytown, California 12345
#         United States of America
```
