To better clarify the update to the ArcGISOnline Provider I have updated the Readme as follows:
Explain why there are 2 methods for geocoding
Provide information about tokens (why/when needed, lifetime, link to instructions for making one)
Fix some typos
This was prompted by my proposed update to the Drupal Geocoder module in support of my previous update to the ArcGISOnline Provider. Since the token has a max lifetime of 14 days, the Drupal code stores the credentials for obtaining a token, and automatically gets a new token when the existing one has expired. However, this generated some confusion due to the token method requiring a token value while the Drupal UI is requesting values for client_id and client_secret (the credentials).
Please let me know if you need me to make any further changes to this documentation.
