Description

This library from MaxMind is the the C library successor to libgeoip.

GitHub description: "The libmaxminddb library provides a C library for reading MaxMind DB files, including the GeoIP2 databases from MaxMind. This is a custom binary format designed to facilitate fast lookups of IP addresses while allowing for great flexibility in the type of data associated with an address."

Github Repo: https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb It appears that they do use the tag system for semantic versioning.

Should libgeoip be replaced by libmaxminddb?

Replying to pixilla@…:

Should libgeoip be replaced by libmaxminddb?

port info libgeoip

I don't think so. It's a different API with a different underlying data structure, so it would be a complete BC break to replace libgeoip. It looks like they are also continuing to patch libgeoip (last update was less than a month ago) and I haven't seen when they are going to end-of-life the underlying data structures for that version. Should probably treat this as a new product as opposed to a v2 of libgeoip. I guess "successor" was not the term I should have used. More like "new, prefered alternate".
