Method Detail

get

public com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode get(java.net.InetAddress ipAddress)
                                            throws java.io.IOException

Looks up ipAddress in the MaxMind DB.

Parameters:

ipAddress - the IP address to look up.

Returns:

the record data for the IP address.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if a file I/O error occurs.

getRecord

public Record getRecord(java.net.InetAddress ipAddress)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Looks up ipAddress in the MaxMind DB.

Parameters:

ipAddress - the IP address to look up.

Returns:

the record for the IP address. If there is no data for the address, the non-null Record will still be returned.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if a file I/O error occurs.

getMetadata

public Metadata getMetadata()

Returns:

the metadata for the MaxMind DB file.

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closes the database.

If you are using FileMode.MEMORY_MAPPED, this will not unmap the underlying file due to a limitation in Java's MappedByteBuffer. It will however set the reference to the buffer to null, allowing the garbage collector to collect it.

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
