A simple and secure DNS client

API documentation

This is a fork of the dnsclient crate which adds extra features.

This crate can resolve IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and supports International Domain Names (IDNA). This DNS client also supports reverse DNS lookups of IP to name and it can lookup a nameserver for a domain.

The client transparently falls back to TCP when a truncated response is received.

The API is simple and the crate supports sync, async-std, tokio and smol.

Development

The documentation is generated for the sync feature. To test all features use scripts/test.sh.
