Adbyss: Public Suffix

This library contains a single public-facing struct — Domain — used for validating and normalizing Internet hostnames, like “www.domain.com”.

It will:

• Validate, normalize, and Puny-encode internationalized/Unicode labels (RFC 3492);
• Validate and normalize the public suffix;
• Ensure conformance with RFC 1123;
• And locate the boundaries of the subdomain (if any), root (required), and suffix (required);

Suffix and IDNA reference data is compiled at build-time, allowing for very fast runtime parsing, but at the cost of temporality. Projects using this library will need to periodically issue new releases or risk growing stale.

Examples

New instances of Domain can be initialized using either Domain::new or TryFrom<&str>.

use adbyss_psl::Domain;

// These are equivalent and fine:
assert!(Domain::new("www.MyDomain.com").is_some());
assert!(Domain::try_from("www.MyDomain.com").is_ok());

// The following is valid DNS, but invalid as an Internet hostname:
assert!(Domain::new("_acme-challenge.mydomain.com").is_none());

Valid Internet hostnames must be no longer than 253 characters, and contain both root and (valid) suffix components.

Their labels — the bits between the dots — must additionally:

• Be no longer than 63 characters;
• (Ultimately) contain only ASCII letters, digits, and -;
• Start and end with an alphanumeric character;

Unicode/internationalized labels are allowed, but must be Puny-encodable and not contain any conflicting bidirectionality constraints. Domain will encode such labels using Punycode when it finds them, ensuring the resulting hostname will always be ASCII-only.

Post-parsing, Domain gives you access to each individual component, or the whole thing:

use adbyss_psl::Domain;

let dom = Domain::new("www.MyDomain.com").unwrap();

// Pull out the pieces if you're into that sort of thing.
assert_eq!(dom.host(), "www.mydomain.com");
assert_eq!(dom.subdomain(), Some("www"));
assert_eq!(dom.root(), "mydomain");
assert_eq!(dom.suffix(), "com");
assert_eq!(dom.tld(), "mydomain.com");

// If you just want the sanitized host back as an owned value, use
// `Domain::take`:
let owned = dom.take(); // "www.mydomain.com"
