ip_range_start, ip_range_end, country_code
ip_range_start and ip_range_end are either IP addresses, or IP addresses in numeric format (depending upon which files you choose) and these two fields represent an inclusive range of IP addresses for that data row.
For example, in the -ipv4.csv files, the CSV line: 1.0.0.0,1.0.0.255,AU would mean that any IP addresses between 1.0.0.0 and 1.0.0.255 (inclusive) are AU. In -ipv4-num.csv files, the equivalent line would be: 16777216,16777471,AU.
For example, in the -ipv6.csv files, the CSV line: 2001:200::,2001:200:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff,JP would mean that any IP addresses between 2001:200:: and 2001:200:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff (inclusive) are JP. In -ipv6-num.csv files, the equivalent line would be: 42540528726795050063891204319802818560,42540528806023212578155541913346768895,JP.
Please be careful when using IPv6 and IPv6-num files in your program, the numerical value exceeds 32bit unsigned integers, and you would need to use a 128bit unsigned integer.
country_code is the two-letter code defined in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
You can get the country name, capital, continent, currency, languages, etc. from the country_code by Countries Database in JSON, CSV, SQL format.
