Another solution is to use an MMDB (“MaxMind DB”) file [1] which is essentially a binary tree + deduplicated values (same as idea 3.1).

There are several free ASN MMDBs [2,3] but you can also build your own MMDB files from any Prefix->Value mapping with the mmdbwriter library [4] or a CLI tool built on top of it like mmdbctl [5].

Assuming the ASN MMDB is fully loaded in memory, it would use around 60MB.

(I work for IPinfo, but there are lots of other companies offering MMDB files).

This is the same idea I used for my Cloud IP lookup tool [1], lets it all work in browser with a small file to search against

Oh this is nice, and a cool use of HTTP range requests!
