Golang : Validate IPv6 example
This tutorial is an enhancement of previous tutorial on how to determine if a given IP address is version 4 or 6. The govalidator package has a function to validate if a given IP address is of type version 6 or not.
Here you go!
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"
)
func main() {
IP61 := "2001:0db8:0000:0042:0000:8a2e:0370:7334"
validIP61 := govalidator.IsIPv6(IP61)
fmt.Printf("%s is a valid IPv6 address : %v \n", IP61, validIP61)
IP62 := "FE80::0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329"
validIP62 := govalidator.IsIPv6(IP62)
fmt.Printf("%s is a valid IPv6 address : %v \n", IP62, validIP62)
}
Output :
2001:0db8:0000:0042:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 is a valid IPv6 address : true
FE80::0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 is a valid IPv6 address : true
