jGeoIP is a light Javascript API for reading new [MaxMind](https://www.maxmind.com)'s DB files (mmdb). jGeoIP stores the complete database in memory to speed up the performances. Besides, it implements a LRU (Least Recently Used) cache for optimizing reading performances for the most recently used IPs.

## Usage

```
var jGeoIP = require('jgeoip');

// Load synchronously MaxMind database in memory
var geoip = new jGeoIP('path/to/maxmind.mmdb');

// IPV4
geoip.getRecord('8.8.8.8');

//IPV6
geoip.getRecord('2001:4860:4860::8844');
```

## API

  * `.getMetadata()` returns MaxMind's database metadata,
  * `.getRecord(IP)` returns IP data.


## Output

`GeoLite2-City.mmdb` outputs:

Some IP addresses do not report `city` information. Most IPv6 addresses report country information only.
