Addresses facet

In Sitecore 8.x, addresses are associated with a contact through a property on the contact. The name of the property is Addresses.

The following is an example the Addresses property on the contact:

"Addresses" : {
    "Preferred" : "home",
    "Entries" : {
        "home" : {
            "Country" : "United Kingdom",
            "City" : "Birmingham",
            "PostalCode" : "B45 8GW",
            "StreetLine1" : "10 Foundry Road",
            "Location" : {
                "Longitude" : -0.118092000484467,
                "Latitude" : 51.5098648071289
            }
        },
        "work" : {
            "Country" : "United Kingdom",
            "City" : "London",
            "PostalCode" : "W1T 4JE",
            "StreetLine1" : "15 Kingshire Abbey"
        }
    }
}

The Entries property is a dictionary. Each member of the dictionary has a key and a value. The key describes the address. The value is an object that contains the details of the address.

In addition to the Entries property, the Addresses object has another property named Preferred. The value is the key for one of the addresses.

In Sitecore 9, addresses are associated with a contact through a contact facet:

In Sitecore 9, the preferred address is stored separate from the other addresses, unlike in Sitecore 8.x where all addresses are stored in a single dictionary.
