IPkood
IPkood is an open-source software project that provides a standardized framework for encoding, decoding, and validating IP-related identifiers. The project aims to simplify the representation of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, subnets, and other IP-derived data in compact, human-readable forms while preserving machine-parseability. The core library offers a set of encoders and decoders, a validator, and a command-line interface, along with language bindings for common platforms.
The architecture is modular, with a core, plug-in encoders for different schemes (for example base32 and base58
IPkood originated in the early 2010s as an open project by a community of network engineers and
Typical use cases include encoding IP addresses for compact storage in logs or databases, transferring IP identifiers
