Using CSV files
CSV packages are the simplest way to inspect and exchange GeoIP Locations release data.
Purpose
CSV is a plain-text tabular format. It is useful for manual inspection, lightweight integration, spreadsheet review, and systems that expect delimited text.
When CSV is the right choice
- You want the easiest format to open and inspect.
- You need a broadly compatible exchange file.
- You want to load the data into SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Excel, Python, or another tool with CSV import support.
Important notes
CSV has no native column typing. Downstream systems should explicitly cast numeric fields such as network_from, network_to, asn, latitude, longitude, and geoname IDs.
