Geocode an address known by Google Maps

Open http://localhost:3000/json?address=Kerameikos&key={KEY}

The result is transmitted from https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Kerameikos&key={KEY}

Geocode a custom address (unknown to Google Maps)

Open http://localhost:3000/json?address=Tombe%202,%20N%C3%A9cropole%20au%20Nord%20de%20l%27Eridanos,%20Kerameikos&key={KEY}

The result is different from the approximate result of https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Tombe%202,%20N%C3%A9cropole%20au%20Nord%20de%20l%27Eridanos,%20Kerameikos&key={KEY}

Please note that all the custom addresses can be seen on a map at http://localhost:3000/.
