除了航运之外，有一个准确的邮政编码还有其他原因。从事跨境旅游的旅行社(当然欧元区除外)需要提前向当局提供这些信息。通常这些信息是由一个可能熟悉也可能不熟悉这些东西的代理输入的。任何可以减少错误的方法都是好主意

然而，编写一个覆盖世界上所有邮政编码的正则表达式将是疯狂的。

unicode CLDR包含每个国家的邮政编码正则表达式。(总共158个正则表达式!)

从http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/26.0.1/下载core.zip 解压缩core.zip 从解压缩的内容(直接内容:common/ supplementary /postalCodeData.xml)中查看common/ supplementary /postalCodeData.xml

谷歌还有一个web服务，提供每个国家的地址格式信息，包括邮政编码，网址是http://i18napis.appspot.com/address (我通过http://unicode.org/review/pri180/找到了这个链接)

请注意，这是一个相当难的问题，正如公认的答案所述。 我想这并没有阻止geonames.org的人们。 他们有一个文件，一个国家信息文件，这并不完全符合这个答案-限制是30000字符显然。有大约150个国家的正则表达式。

希望我没有犯错，我的regex-fu很弱。

考虑到每个国家都有如此多的边缘情况(例如。伦敦地址可能使用与英国其他地区略有不同的格式)我不认为有一个终极正则表达式，除了可能:

[0-9a-zA-Z]+

最好是使用一个相当广泛的模式(好吧，不像上面那么广泛)，或者用自己的特定模式对待每个国家/地区!

更新:然而，它可能动态地构造一个正则表达式基于许多更小的，特定于区域的规则-虽然不确定性能!

在RegExLib网站上可以找到许多特定国家的模式。

问题是，你可能没有很好的方法来跟上地球另一端国家不断变化的邮政编码要求，而你们没有共同的语言。除非你有足够大的预算来跟踪这一点，你几乎肯定更好的责任验证地址谷歌或雅虎。

两家公司都通过可编程API提供地址查找功能。

如果有人仍然对如何验证邮政编码感兴趣，我找到了一个解决方案:

使用谷歌地理编码API，我们可以检查具有国家代码和邮政编码本身的邮政编码的有效性。

例如，我住在乌克兰，所以我可以这样检查: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?components=postal_code:80380|country:UA

或者使用JS API: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding#ComponentFiltering

其中80380是乌克兰有效的ZIP，实际上每个(#####)是有效的。

如果没有发现，谷歌返回ZERO_RESULTS状态。 或者OK和一个结果，如果两者都正确。

希望这对你有所帮助。
