GNU Libidn is a fully documented implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications. Libidn's purpose is to encode and decode internationalized domain name strings. There are native C, C# and Java libraries.
Noteworthy changes since the last release (from NEWS file): * Version 1.26 (released 2012-12-11) [stable] ** libidn, idna_to_ascii: Propagate error on malloc failure. Reported by Sarat Chandra Addepalli <s.addepa...@samsung.com>. ** libidn, tld_get_4: Fix out of bounds read access violation. ** i18n: Added Croatian translation. Updated Vietnamese translation. Thanks to Tomislav Krznar and Trần Ngọc Quân. ** java: Permit usage by Apache projects. Thanks to Oliver Hitz and Angus Turner. ** tests: Improve tld self-tests. ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version. The C library contains a generic Stringprep implementation. Profiles for Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL, XMPP and Kerberos V5 are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported. A mechanism to define Top-Level Domain (TLD) specific validation tables, and to compare strings against those tables, is included. Default tables for some TLDs are also included. The Stringprep API consists of two main functions, one for converting data from the system's native representation into UTF-8, and one function to perform the Stringprep processing. Adding a new Stringprep profile for your application within the API is straightforward. The Punycode API consists of one encoding function and one decoding function. The IDNA API consists of the ToASCII and ToUnicode functions, as well as an high-level interface for converting entire domain names to and from the ACE encoded form. The TLD API consists of one set of functions to extract the TLD name from a domain string, one set of functions to locate the proper TLD table to use based on the TLD name, and core functions to validate a string against a TLD table, and some utility wrappers to perform all the steps in one call. Libidn is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 Unix platforms (including Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and Tru64) and Windows. The library is written in C and (parts of) the API is also accessible from C++, Emacs Lisp, Python and Java. A native Java and C# port is included. Also included is a command line tool, several self tests, code examples, and more. Improving Libidn is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find Libidn useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money or equipment. Commercial support contracts for Libidn are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult AB, a Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding Libidn maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development projects.
