Code Examples

Creating, Parsing, Checking Host/Address/Subnet, Extracting Address/Subnet Info

• Parse IP Address or Subnet String
• Parse IP Address String with Prefix Length as Subnet or IP Address
• Check if String is an IP Address or Host Name
• Parse Socket Address
• Convert to/from byte[], int, BigInteger or InetAddress
• Get Prefix Length, Network Mask, Network Address, Version, Subnet Size and Segments from CIDR Address or Subnet
• Check if Multicast
• Control Parsing of IP Addresses with Fewer Segments than Standard

Subnet or Range Containment Checks

• Check if Subnet Contains Address or Subnet
• Check if Address or Subnet Falls within Arbitrary Address Range
• Select CIDR Prefix Block Subnets Containing an Address
• Select Addresses Contained by a CIDR Prefix Block Subnet
• Get Prefix Blocks Common to List of Addresses
• Longest Prefix Match
• Select Addresses and Subnets within Arbitrary Address Range
• Look up Associated IP Address Data by Containing Subnet or Matching Address

Subnetting and Other Subnet Operations

• Iterate through Subnet
• Iterate through Subnet Boundaries
• Sequential or Parallel Operations on Subnets using Streams
• From Start and End Address, Get a Minimal List of CIDR Blocks Spanning the Range
• From Start and End Address, Get a Single CIDR Block Covering Both
• Merge a List of Addresses or Subnets into a Minimal List of CIDR Blocks
• Break a CIDR Prefix Block into Direct Component Blocks
• Iteratively Break a CIDR Prefix Block into Component Blocks
• Derive New Subnet from Existing CIDR Subnet
• Remove Address or Subnet from Subnet
• From Start and End Address, Get a Minimal List of Spanning Subnets, each with Segments either Single-Valued or Full-Range

Converting to/from Other Formats

• Produce a Variety of Strings of an Address for Text Search
• Convert to Binary String
• Convert to/from IPv6 Address from/to MAC Address
• Convert to/from IPv6 Address from/to Ascii Base 85 Encoding
• Convert Subnet Members to Integers using Filter, Map and Collect Stream Operations
• Extend Address Classes for Customized Conversion to/from IPv4 Address from/to IPv6 Address
• Write/Read Addresses to/from Direct Byte Buffer in Native Byte Order
