public class DomainValidator
extends Object
implements Serializable

Domain name validation routines.

This validator provides methods for validating Internet domain names and top-level domains.

Domain names are evaluated according to the standards RFC1034, section 3, and RFC1123, section 2.1. No accomodation is provided for the specialized needs of other applications; if the domain name has been URL-encoded, for example, validation will fail even though the equivalent plaintext version of the same name would have passed.

Validation is also provided for top-level domains (TLDs) as defined and maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA):

(NOTE: This class does not provide IP address lookup for domain names or methods to ensure that a given domain name matches a specific IP; see InetAddress for that functionality.)

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DomainValidator getInstance()
Returns the singleton instance of this validator.

Returns:
the singleton instance of this validator

isValid

public boolean isValid(String domain)
Returns true if the specified String parses as a valid domain name with a recognized top-level domain. The parsing is case-sensitive.

Parameters:
domain - the parameter to check for domain name syntax
Returns:
true if the parameter is a valid domain name

isValidTld

public boolean isValidTld(String tld)
Returns true if the specified String matches any IANA-defined top-level domain. Leading dots are ignored if present. The search is case-sensitive.

Parameters:
tld - the parameter to check for TLD status
Returns:
true if the parameter is a TLD

isValidInfrastructureTld

public boolean isValidInfrastructureTld(String iTld)
Returns true if the specified String matches any IANA-defined infrastructure top-level domain. Leading dots are ignored if present. The search is case-sensitive.

Parameters:
iTld - the parameter to check for infrastructure TLD status
Returns:
true if the parameter is an infrastructure TLD

isValidGenericTld

public boolean isValidGenericTld(String gTld)
Returns true if the specified String matches any IANA-defined generic top-level domain. Leading dots are ignored if present. The search is case-sensitive.

Parameters:
gTld - the parameter to check for generic TLD status
Returns:
true if the parameter is a generic TLD

isValidCountryCodeTld

public boolean isValidCountryCodeTld(String ccTld)
Returns true if the specified String matches any IANA-defined country code top-level domain. Leading dots are ignored if present. The search is case-sensitive.

Parameters:
ccTld - the parameter to check for country code TLD status
Returns:
true if the parameter is a country code TLD
