Description-en: Go implementation for lookups against GeoIP files
This is the Go implementation of the Maxmind GeoIP API. It is incomplete and
work in progress the initial goal is support only two of the database types –
the City Lite and Country Lite. The only supported method is loading the full
db on startup into memory (memory cache).
.
At this point, only IPv4 lookups are supported.
