Compress a full IPv6 address into its shortest valid form.

Compression removes leading zeros within groups and collapses the longest run of zero groups into ::. The result is the canonical shortest representation of the address.

Frequently asked questions

Is the compressed form still a valid IPv6 address?

Yes. It is the same address written more compactly, and is accepted by all standards-compliant parsers.
