This is what most software displays.91- **Canonical form** — the fully expanded representation: all 8 groups, each padded to 4 hex digits, no `::` collapsing (e.g. `2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001`). Useful for sorting and byte-exact comparison.92- **Subnet** — the network portion of an address expressed as a CIDR prefix length (e.g. `/24` for IPv4, `/64` for IPv6). `startAddress()` / `endAddress()` return the bounds of the subnet's range.93- **Zone** — the IPv6 scope identifier appended after `%`, used to disambiguate link-local addresses across interfaces (e.g. `fe80::1%eth0`).94- **v4-in-v6** — mixed notation that embeds an IPv4 address as the last 32 bits of an IPv6 address, e.g. `::ffff:192.168.0.1`. Used for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.95- **Teredo** — a tunneling protocol that encodes an IPv4 endpoint, port, and flags inside a `2001::/32` IPv6 address. `inspectTeredo()` decodes those fields.96- **6to4** — a tunneling protocol that embeds an IPv4 address as the second 16 bits of a `2002::/16` IPv6 address. `inspect6to4()` decodes the embedded v4 address.97 98### API99 100<!-- API:START -->101 102<details>103<summary><a id="address4"></a><strong>Address4</strong> — Represents an IPv4 address</summary>104 105**Constructor**106 107- `new Address4(address: string): Address4`108 109**Static methods**110 111- `static isValid(address: string): boolean` — Returns true if the given string is a valid IPv4 address (with optional CIDR subnet), false otherwise. Host bits in the subnet portion are allowed (e.g. `192.168.1.5/24` is valid); for strict network-address validation compare `correctForm()` to `startAddress().correctForm()`, or use `networkForm()`.

For an address with no explicit subnet the prefix is `/128`, e.g. `networkForm()` on `2001:db8::1` returns `2001:db8::1/128`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L531)199- `getScope(): string` — Return the scope of the address. The 4-bit scope field ([RFC 4291 §2.7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.7)) is only defined for multicast addresses; for unicast addresses the scope is derived from the address type per [RFC 4007 §6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4007#section-6). [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L543)200- `getType(): string` — Return the type of the address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L570)201- `getBits(start: number, end: number): bigint` — Return the bits in the given range as a BigInt [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L585)202- `getBitsBase2(start: number, end: number): string` — Return the bits in the given range as a base-2 string [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L593)203- `getBitsBase16(start: number, end: number): string` — Return the bits in the given range as a base-16 string [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L601)204- `getBitsPastSubnet(): string` — Return the bits that are set past the subnet mask length [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L617)205- `reverseForm(options?: ReverseFormOptions): string` — Return the reversed ip6.arpa form of the address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L627)206- `correctForm(): string` — Returns the address in correct form, per [RFC 5952](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5952): leading zeros stripped, the longest run of zero groups collapsed to `::`, and hex digits lowercased (e.g. `2001:db8::1`). This is the recommended form for display. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L662)207- `binaryZeroPad(): string` — Return a zero-padded base-2 string representation of the address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L724)208- `parse4in6(address: string): string` — Parses a v4-in-v6 string (e.g. `::ffff:192.168.0.1`) by extracting the trailing IPv4 address into `this.address4` / `this.parsedAddress4` and returning the address with the v4 portion converted to two v6 groups. Used internally by `parse()`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L738)209- `parse(address: string): string[]` — Parses an IPv6 address string into its 8 hexadecimal groups (expanding any `::` elision and any trailing v4-in-v6 portion) and stores the result on `this.parsedAddress`. Called automatically by the constructor; you typically don't need to call it directly. Throws `AddressError` if the input is malformed. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L795)210- `canonicalForm(): string` — Returns the canonical (fully expanded) form of the address: all 8 groups, each padded to 4 hex digits, with no `::` collapsing (e.g. `2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001`). Useful for sorting and byte-exact comparison. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L875)211- `decimal(): string` — Return the decimal form of the address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L883)212- `bigInt(): bigint` — Return the address as a BigInt [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L891)213- `to4(): Address4` — Return the last two groups of this address as an IPv4 address string. If this address carries a CIDR prefix that covers the trailing 32 bits (i.e. `subnetMask >= 96`), the resulting `Address4` inherits the corresponding v4 prefix (`subnetMask - 96`); otherwise it defaults to `/32`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L906)214- `to4in6(): string` — Return the v4-in-v6 form of the address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L930)215- `inspectTeredo(): TeredoProperties` — Decodes the Teredo tunneling fields embedded in this address. Returns the Teredo prefix, server IPv4, client IPv4, raw flag bits, cone-NAT flag, UDP port, and Microsoft-format flag breakdown (reserved, universal/local, group/individual, nonce). Only meaningful for addresses in `2001::/32`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L951)216- `inspect6to4(): SixToFourProperties` — Decodes the 6to4 tunneling fields embedded in this address. Returns the 6to4 prefix and the embedded IPv4 gateway address. Only meaningful for addresses in `2002::/16`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1014)217- `to6to4(): Address6 | null` — Return a v6 6to4 address from a v6 v4inv6 address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1034)218- `toAddress4Nat64(prefix: string): Address4 | null` — Extract the embedded IPv4 address from a NAT64 IPv6 address using the encoding defined by [RFC 6052](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6052). The default prefix is the well-known prefix `64:ff9b::/96`. Returns `null` if this address is not contained within the given prefix. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1103)219- `toByteArray(): number[]` — Return a byte array. To get a Node.js `Buffer`, wrap the result: `Buffer.from(address.toByteArray())`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1138)220- `toUnsignedByteArray(): number[]` — Return an unsigned byte array. To get a Node.js `Buffer`, wrap the result: `Buffer.from(address.toUnsignedByteArray())`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1157)221- `isCanonical(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is in the canonical form, false otherwise [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1233)222- `isLinkLocal(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is a link local address, false otherwise [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1241)223- `isMulticast(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is a multicast address, false otherwise [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1262)224- `is4(): boolean` — Returns true if the address was written in v4-in-v6 dotted-quad notation (e.g. `::ffff:127.0.0.1`), false otherwise. This is a notation-level flag and does not reflect whether the address bits lie in the IPv4-mapped (`::ffff:0:0/96`) subnet — for that, see isMapped4. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1279)225- `isMapped4(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address in `::ffff:0:0/96` ([RFC 4291 §2.5.5.2](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.5.2)), false otherwise. Unlike is4, this checks the underlying address bits rather than the textual notation, so `::ffff:127.0.0.1` and `::ffff:7f00:1` both return true. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1291)226- `embeddedIPv4(): Address4 | null` — If this address embeds a routable IPv4 address — i.e. it is IPv4-mapped (`::ffff:0:0/96`) or sits in the NAT64 well-known prefix (`64:ff9b::/96`, [RFC 6052](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6052)) — return that embedded address as an Address4; otherwise return null. The special-property checks (`isLoopback`, `isLinkLocal`, `isMulticast`, `isUnspecified`, `isPrivate`, `isCGNAT`, `isBroadcast`) call this first and delegate to the embedded Address4 when present, so a literal such as `::ffff:127.0.0.1` is classified by what it actually reaches (loopback) rather than by its IPv6 wrapper (which `getType()` reports as IPv4-mapped). This matters wherever the checks back a trust-boundary decision (e.g. an SSRF allow/deny filter): without normalization, `::ffff:10.0.0.1`, `::ffff:169.254.169.254`, `64:ff9b::7f00:1`, etc. would all read as non-internal. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1312)227- `isTeredo(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is a Teredo address, false otherwise [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1324)228- `is6to4(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is a 6to4 address, false otherwise [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1332)229- `isLoopback(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is a loopback address, false otherwise [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1340)230- `isULA(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is a Unique Local Address in `fc00::/7` ([RFC 4193](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4193)). ULAs are the IPv6 equivalent of IPv4 [RFC 1918](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1918) private addresses. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1353)231- `isPrivate(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is private, i.e. a Unique Local Address in `fc00::/7` ([RFC 4193](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4193)) or an IPv4-mapped / NAT64 address whose embedded IPv4 address is in one of the [RFC 1918](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1918) private ranges (e.g. `::ffff:10.0.0.1`). This is the IPv6 counterpart to Address4.isPrivate; use it instead of isULA when you need to catch mapped RFC 1918 addresses as well as native ULAs. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1367)232- `isCGNAT(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is an IPv4-mapped / NAT64 address whose embedded IPv4 address is in the carrier-grade NAT range `100.64.0.0/10` ([RFC 6598](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6598)), false otherwise. There is no native IPv6 CGNAT range, so this only ever returns true for an embedded IPv4 address (e.g. `::ffff:100.64.0.1`). [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1384)233- `isBroadcast(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is an IPv4-mapped / NAT64 address whose embedded IPv4 address is the limited broadcast address `255.255.255.255` ([RFC 919](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc919)), false otherwise. There is no IPv6 broadcast, so this only ever returns true for an embedded IPv4 address (e.g. `::ffff:255.255.255.255`). [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1401)234- `isUnspecified(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is the unspecified address `::`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1414)235- `isDocumentation(): boolean` — Returns true if the address is in the documentation prefix `2001:db8::/32` ([RFC 3849](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3849)). [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1427)236- `href(optionalPort?: string | number): string` — Returns the address as an HTTP URL with the host bracketed, e.g. `http://[2001:db8::1]/`. If `optionalPort` is provided it is appended, e.g. `http://[2001:db8::1]:8080/`. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1438)237- `link(options?: { className?: string; prefix?: string; v4?: boolean }): string` — Returns an HTML `<a>` element whose `href` encodes the address in a URL hash fragment (default prefix `/#address=`). Useful for linking between pages of an address-inspector UI. [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1456)238- `group(): string` — Groups an address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1496)239- `regularExpressionString(this: Address6, substringSearch: boolean): string` — Generate a regular expression string that can be used to find or validate all variations of this address [src](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/blob/master/src/ipv6.ts#L1548)240- `regularExpression(this: Address6, substringSearch: boolean): RegExp` — Generate a regular expression that can be used to find or validate all variations of this address.

Confirmed issues get a fix, a release, and a public [advisory](https://github.com/beaugunderson/ip-address/security/advisories) with a CVE, rather than a quiet patch.282 283Releases are built and published by CI through npm trusted publishing. Every version from 10.2.1 onward carries a provenance attestation tying the tarball to the commit and workflow that built it. Check it with `npm audit signatures`.284 285If you are using the address-property checks as a security control, read [that section of SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md#classifiers-are-not-an-ssrf-defense) first. `isPrivate()`, `isLoopback()`, `isInSubnet()` and their siblings classify an address that has already been parsed, which makes them one layer of an SSRF guard rather than the whole of it. A hostname that resolves to an internal address, a DNS record that changes after your check, or a redirect will all sail past a guard built only on them.286 287### Used by288 289`ip-address` is downloaded ~66 million times per week, mostly via the Node proxy/agent ecosystem. The dependency chain runs through a handful of widely-used packages:290 291- [**socks**](https://github.com/JoshGlazebrook/socks) (~53M weekly) — SOCKS4/5 client for Node; depends on `ip-address` directly. The single biggest source of downloads.292- [**socks-proxy-agent**](https://github.com/TooTallNate/proxy-agents/tree/main/packages/socks-proxy-agent) (~57M weekly) — `http.Agent` for SOCKS proxies; depends on `socks`. Bundled by virtually every CLI that respects `HTTPS_PROXY`.293- [**npm**](https://github.com/npm/cli) and [**pnpm**](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm) — both bundle `socks-proxy-agent` through their HTTP fetch stack (`make-fetch-happen` → `@npmcli/agent`), so every Node install on the planet pulls in `ip-address` as a transitive dependency.294- [**Puppeteer**](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer) — `@puppeteer/browsers` uses `proxy-agent` for browser-binary downloads, which routes through `socks-proxy-agent` → `socks` → `ip-address`.295- [**proxy-agent**](https://github.com/TooTallNate/proxy-agents/tree/main/packages/proxy-agent) (~28M weekly) and [**pac-proxy-agent**](https://github.com/TooTallNate/proxy-agents/tree/main/packages/pac-proxy-agent) (~27M weekly) — auto-detecting proxy agents (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS/PAC) used widely in scraping, headless-browser, and CI tooling.296- [**cacache**](https://github.com/npm/cacache) (~44M weekly) — npm's content-addressable cache; pulls in the same fetch stack.297 298Beyond the proxy chain, `ip-address` has been used by Juniper Networks' Contrail, Ably's proxy-protocol implementation, Rackspace's serialization framework, IPFS, and the [SwitchyOmega](https://github.com/FelisCatus/SwitchyOmega) Chrome extension, among many others.299
