use-host

use-host provides lightweight helpers for parsing hosts such as localhost, IP literals, and domain-style host names.

Experimental: this crate is below 0.3.0 and the API may change.

Example Usage

use use_host::{bracket_ipv6_host, parse_host, HostKind};

let host = parse_host("[::1]").unwrap();

assert_eq!(host.kind, HostKind::Ip);
assert_eq!(host.value, "::1");
assert_eq!(bracket_ipv6_host(&host.value), "[::1]");

Scope

• Localhost, IP-literal, and hostname-style host detection.
• Simple host normalization and IPv6 bracket helpers.

Non-goals

• DNS lookup.
• Public suffix validation.
• Host reachability testing.
