#### [中文文档](https://github.com/zu1k/nali/blob/master/README.md)

## Origin

Inspired by Nali C version and nali-cli js version.

I want to query the IP geographic information and CDN service provider on the terminal, then found the Nali tool. Nali mean 'where' in Chinese, good name for this kind of tools.

However the C version has too few functions, and the js version is too big and the supported platforms are not complete, so I rewrite it in golang, add IPv6 support and Geoip2 database.

## Feature

- Multi database support
  - Chunzhen qqip database
  - ZX ipv6 database
  - Geoip2 city database
  - IPIP free database
  - ip2region database
- Pipeline support
- Interactive query
- Offline query
- Both ipv4 and ipv6 supported
- Multilingual support
- CDN provider query
- Full platform support
- Color print
