This header defines the ip_address class, which provides a seamless and efficient way to handle IP addresses, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 versions. It encapsulates the complexities of dealing with different IP versions and offers a simple and consistent API to work with. The class internally manages the storage and representation of the IP addresses, abstracting away the underlying details from the user.

The ip_address class is designed to be a versatile and robust solution for IP address manipulation in network-related applications. It integrates the ipv4_address and ipv6_address classes through a union, ensuring optimal space usage while maintaining the ability to represent both IP address versions. This file is part of a larger library that aims to provide comprehensive support for network operations.
