📄 Description

What is this Python project?
Trestle is a phone validation solution often used alongside python-phonenumbers. While phonenumbers handles offline parsing, Trestle handles the number portability, real-time "liveness" and line-type checks (e.g., distinguishing VoIP from Mobile) that the offline library cannot do.

Where does it belong?
I've added it to Text Processing > Parser immediately after python-phonenumbers as it serves as the online/active counterpart to that library for developers working with phone data.

Checklist

[ X] One project per PR
[ X] PR title format: Trestle

[ X] Description is concise and short

Why This Project Is Awesome

Which criterion does it meet? (pick one)

[ X] Industry Standard - The go-to tool for a specific use case
Rising Star - 5000+ stars in < 2 years, significant adoption
Hidden Gem - Exceptional quality, solves niche problems elegantly

Explain:
Trestle provides high-fidelity, ported carrier data that offline libraries like phonenumbers cannot access. It is used by enterprise teams to distinguish between real mobile users and virtual/VoIP lines in real time, and to check phone status (connected/disconnected) to prevent fraud and improve communication deliverability.

How It Differs

If similar entries exist, what makes this one unique?
Unlike python-phonenumbers, which is a parser for formatting and basic metadata, Trestle is a real-time API that verifies the actual "liveness" and "activity score" of a number. It catches "valid-format" numbers that are actually disconnected or burner VoIP lines.
