dns-js

dns-js
==============


DNS packet parser specifically built for mdns-js
but it should be generic enough to do general dns stuff.

NEW LOCATION

This project was moved into it's own organisation and changed name from node-mdns-js-packet to node-dns-js.
Please update any git remotes you might have pointing here.

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/mdns-js/node-dns-js.git

You probably want to have a look at
native-dns-packet
first and if that does do what you need, you might start looking at this.

dns-js should produce the same output as native-dns-packet,
it even uses it's test fixtures and borrows some parts of it.

This was made before i knew about native-dns-packet but since that
still has some bugs in handling some mDNS packets I cant use it.

example
-------

``javascript
var dns = require('dns-js');

/some code that will get you a dns message buffer/

var result = dns.DNSPacket.parse(message);

console.log(result);
``

Look at examples/dnsresolver.js for a more detailed example.

Contribute
----------
I will gladly accept any contributions as pull requests.
Just run __npm run lint__ on the code first so that the coding style
is kept somewhat consistent.
I miss doing this myself from time to time and I won't go ballistic if anyone
else forget but I would really appreciate it.
