This simple PHP library is based on [a twitter thread](https://twitter.com/dave_universetf/status/1342685822286360576?s=11)that became [a blog post](https://blog.dave.tf/post/ip-addr-parsing/) about parsing IP addresses.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$input = "1.2.3.4";

$parser = new iamcal\IPParser();

$out = $parser->parse($input);

```

The single public method, `->parse()`, takes a string and returns an array with two keys:

```
Array
(
    [type] => ipv4
    [canonical] => 1.2.3.4
)

```

The `type` will either be `"ipv4"` or `"ipv6"`, while the `canonical` key will contain a canonicalized version of the IP.

Invalid IPs will throw a catchable exception.
