IDNA

abstract class IDNA
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.icu.text.IDNA

Abstract base class for IDNA processing. See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr46/ and http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3490.txt

The IDNA class is not intended for public subclassing.

The non-static methods implement UTS #46 and IDNA2008. IDNA2008 is implemented according to UTS #46, see getUTS46Instance().

IDNA2003 is obsolete. The static methods implement IDNA2003. They are all deprecated.

IDNA2003 API Overview:

The static IDNA API methods implement the IDNA protocol as defined in the IDNA RFC. The draft defines 2 operations: ToASCII and ToUnicode. Domain labels containing non-ASCII code points are required to be processed by ToASCII operation before passing it to resolver libraries. Domain names that are obtained from resolver libraries are required to be processed by ToUnicode operation before displaying the domain name to the user. IDNA requires that implementations process input strings with Nameprep, which is a profile of Stringprep , and then with Punycode. Implementations of IDNA MUST fully implement Nameprep and Punycode; neither Nameprep nor Punycode are optional. The input and output of ToASCII and ToUnicode operations are Unicode and are designed to be chainable, i.e., applying ToASCII or ToUnicode operations multiple times to an input string will yield the same result as applying the operation once. ToUnicode(ToUnicode(ToUnicode...(ToUnicode(string)))) == ToUnicode(string) ToASCII(ToASCII(ToASCII...(ToASCII(string))) == ToASCII(string).

Constants

CHECK_BIDI

Added in API level 24
static val CHECK_BIDI: Int

IDNA option to check for whether the input conforms to the BiDi rules. For use in static worker and factory methods.

This option is ignored by the IDNA2003 implementation. (IDNA2003 always performs a BiDi check.)

Value: 4

CHECK_CONTEXTJ

Added in API level 24
static val CHECK_CONTEXTJ: Int

IDNA option to check for whether the input conforms to the CONTEXTJ rules. For use in static worker and factory methods.

This option is ignored by the IDNA2003 implementation. (The CONTEXTJ check is new in IDNA2008.)

Value: 8

CHECK_CONTEXTO

Added in API level 24
static val CHECK_CONTEXTO: Int

IDNA option to check for whether the input conforms to the CONTEXTO rules. For use in static worker and factory methods.

This option is ignored by the IDNA2003 implementation. (The CONTEXTO check is new in IDNA2008.)

This is for use by registries for IDNA2008 conformance. UTS #46 does not require the CONTEXTO check.

Value: 64

DEFAULT

Added in API level 24
static val DEFAULT: Int

Default options value: None of the other options are set. For use in static worker and factory methods.

Value: 0

NONTRANSITIONAL_TO_ASCII

Added in API level 24
static val NONTRANSITIONAL_TO_ASCII: Int

IDNA option for nontransitional processing in ToASCII(). For use in static worker and factory methods.

By default, ToASCII() uses transitional processing.

This option is ignored by the IDNA2003 implementation. (This is only relevant for compatibility of newer IDNA implementations with IDNA2003.)

Value: 16

NONTRANSITIONAL_TO_UNICODE

Added in API level 24
static val NONTRANSITIONAL_TO_UNICODE: Int

IDNA option for nontransitional processing in ToUnicode(). For use in static worker and factory methods.

By default, ToUnicode() uses transitional processing.

This option is ignored by the IDNA2003 implementation. (This is only relevant for compatibility of newer IDNA implementations with IDNA2003.)

Value: 32

USE_STD3_RULES

Added in API level 24
static val USE_STD3_RULES: Int

Option to check whether the input conforms to the STD3 ASCII rules, for example the restriction of labels to LDH characters (ASCII Letters, Digits and Hyphen-Minus). For use in static worker and factory methods.

Value: 2

Public methods

getUTS46Instance

Added in API level 24
open static fun getUTS46Instance(options: Int): IDNA!

Returns an IDNA instance which implements UTS #46. Returns an unmodifiable instance, owned by the caller. Cache it for multiple operations, and delete it when done. The instance is thread-safe, that is, it can be used concurrently.

UTS #46 defines Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing, updated to the latest version of Unicode and compatible with both IDNA2003 and IDNA2008.

The worker functions use transitional processing, including deviation mappings, unless NONTRANSITIONAL_TO_ASCII or NONTRANSITIONAL_TO_UNICODE is used in which case the deviation characters are passed through without change.

Disallowed characters are mapped to U+FFFD.

Operations with the UTS #46 instance do not support the ALLOW_UNASSIGNED option.

By default, the UTS #46 implementation allows all ASCII characters (as valid or mapped). When the USE_STD3_RULES option is used, ASCII characters other than letters, digits, hyphen (LDH) and dot/full stop are disallowed and mapped to U+FFFD.

Parameters
options Int: Bit set to modify the processing and error checking.
Return
IDNA! the UTS #46 IDNA instance, if successful

labelToASCII

abstract fun labelToASCII(

    dest: StringBuilder!,
    info: IDNA.Info!
): StringBuilder!

Converts a single domain name label into its ASCII form for DNS lookup. If any processing step fails, then info.hasErrors() will be true and the result might not be an ASCII string. The label might be modified according to the types of errors. Labels with severe errors will be left in (or turned into) their Unicode form.

Parameters
label CharSequence!: Input domain name label
dest StringBuilder!: Destination string object
info IDNA.Info!: Output container of IDNA processing details.
Return
StringBuilder! dest

info IDNA.Info!: Output container of IDNA processing details.
Return
StringBuilder! dest
