Class DnsName

java.lang.Object

org.minidns.dnsname.DnsName

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CharSequence, Comparable<DnsName>

public final class DnsName
extends Object
implements CharSequence, Serializable, Comparable<DnsName>

A DNS name, also called "domain name". A DNS name consists of multiple 'labels' and is subject to certain restrictions (see for example RFC 3696 § 2.).

Instances of this class can be created by using from(String).

This class holds three representations of a DNS name: ACE, raw ACE and IDN. ACE (ASCII Compatible Encoding), which can be accessed via ace, represents mostly the data that got send over the wire. But since DNS names are case insensitive, the ACE value is normalized to lower case. You can use getRawAce() to get the raw ACE data that was received, which possibly includes upper case characters. The IDN (Internationalized Domain Name), that is the DNS name as it should be shown to the user, can be retrieved using asIdn().

More information about Internationalized Domain Names can be found at:

• UTS #46 - Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing
• RFC 8753 - Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) Review for New Unicode Versions

Method Detail

writeToStream

public void writeToStream(OutputStream os)
                   throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

public byte[] getBytes()

Serialize a domain name under IDN rules.

Returns:

The binary domain name representation.

public byte[] getRawBytes()

getRawAce

public String getRawAce()

asIdn

public String asIdn()

public String getDomainpart()

Domainpart in ACE representation.

Returns:

the domainpart in ACE representation.

Hostpart in ACE representation.

Returns:

the hostpart in ACE representation.

getHostpartLabel

public DnsLabel getHostpartLabel()

size

public int size()

length

public int length()

Specified by:

length in interface CharSequence

charAt

public char charAt(int index)

Specified by:

charAt in interface CharSequence

subSequence

public CharSequence subSequence(int start,
                                int end)

toString in class Object

from

public static DnsName from(CharSequence name)

from

public static DnsName from(String name)

from

public static DnsName from(DnsName child,
                           DnsName parent)

Create a DNS name by "concatenating" the child under the parent name. The child can also be seen as the "left" part of the resulting DNS name and the parent is the "right" part.

For example using "i.am.the.child" as child and "of.this.parent.example" as parent, will result in a DNS name: "i.am.the.child.of.this.parent.example".

Parameters:

child - the child DNS name.

parent - the parent DNS name.

Returns:

the resulting of DNS name.

from

public static DnsName from(DnsLabel child,
                           DnsName parent)

from

public static DnsName from(DnsLabel grandchild,
                           DnsLabel child,
                           DnsName parent)

from

public static DnsName from(DnsName... nameComponents)

from

public static DnsName from(String[] parts)

parse

public static DnsName parse(DataInputStream dis,
                            byte[] data)
                     throws IOException

Parse a domain name starting at the current offset and moving the input stream pointer past this domain name (even if cross references occure).

Parameters:

dis - The input stream.

Returns:

The domain name string.

Throws:

IOException - Should never happen.
