See examples/lookup.rs for a basic example.

Benchmarks

The projects include benchmarks using Criterion.rs.

First you need to have a working copy of the GeoIP City database. You can fetch it from here.

Place it in the root folder as GeoIP2-City.mmdb.

Once this is done, run

cargo bench

If gnuplot is installed, Criterion.rs can generate an HTML report displaying the results of the benchmark under target/criterion/report/index.html.
