zonefile-parser

A DNS zonefile parser module with no runtime dependencies, generated from the PEG.js grammar https://github.com/tableflip/zonefile-pegjs

Handles multi-line SOA and TXT records, as well as SRV, MX, CNAME, NS, AAAA, A and friends.

Install

``sh
npm install zonefile-parser
`

Usage

The parser comes in two flavors:

fast.js, the default module exported:

`js
var parser = require('zonefile-parser')
parser.parse('tableflip.io. 21599 IN A 178.62.82.182')
// { origin: null, ttl: null, records:[ { name:'tableflip.io.', ttl: '21599', type:'A', data: '178.62.82.182' } ] }
`

and small.js in case you're browserifying and want to shave a few bytes:

`js
var parser = require('zonefile-parser/small')
parser.parse('tableflip.io. 21599 IN A 178.62.82.182')
// { origin: null, ttl: null, records:[ { name:'tableflip.io.', ttl: '21599', type:'A', data: '178.62.82.182' } ] }
`

Command line tool

Install it globally

`sh
npm install -g zonefile-parser
`

and use it from your shell as zonefile to convert a zonefile to JSON on stdout:

`sh
$ zonefile ../zonefile-pegjs/test/example.zone
{
"origin": "example.org.",
"ttl": "2d",
"records": [
{
"name": "@",
"ttl": null,
"type": "SOA",
"data": {
"nameServer": "ns1.example.org.",
"email": "hostmaster.example.org.",
"serial": "2003080800",
"refresh": "12h",
"retry": "15m",
"expiry": "3w",
"minimum": "3h"
}
}
]
}
