A wrapper for the excellent whois module, that returns results in actual, structured, camelCased JavaScript!


Changes in version 2

Callbacks are no longer supported by this module - the module returns Promises and should be used with await.

Demo

(async function(){
const whois = require('whois-json');

var results = await whois('google.com');
console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));
})()

Or to specify some options to the underlying whois module, use:

(async function(){
const whois = require('whois-json');

var results = await whois('google.com', {follow: 3, verbose: true});
console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));
})()

Returns the following results. Note duplicate keys in whois results (like nameServer) are combined into a single result, seperated by space:
