defmodule MMDB2Decoder do @moduledoc """ MMDB2 file format decoder. ## Usage To prepare lookups in a given database you need to parse it and hold the result available for later usage: iex(1)> database = File.read!("/path/to/database.mmdb") iex(2)> {:ok, meta, tree, data} = MMDB2Decoder.parse_database(database) Using the returned database contents you can start looking up individual entries: iex(3)> {:ok, ip} = :inet.parse(String.to_charlist("127.0.0.1")) iex(4)> MMDB2Decoder.lookup(ip, meta, tree, data) {:ok, %{...}} For more details on the lookup methods (and a function suitable for direct piping) please see the individual function documentations. ### Floating Point Precision Please be aware that all values of the type `float` are rounded to 4 decimal digits and `double` values to 8 decimal digits.
