@Restricted(org.kohsuke.accmod.restrictions.NoExternalUse.class) 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 accommodation 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 Details

    • getInstance

      public static DomainValidator getInstance()
      Returns the singleton instance of this validator. It will not consider local addresses as valid.
      Returns:
      the singleton instance of this validator
    • getInstance

      public static DomainValidator getInstance(boolean allowLocal)
      Returns the singleton instance of this validator, with local validation as required.
      Parameters:
      allowLocal - Should local addresses be considered valid?
      Returns:
      the singleton instance of this validator
    • getInstance

      public static DomainValidator getInstance(boolean allowLocal, List<DomainValidator.Item> items)
      Returns a new instance of this validator. The user can provide a list of DomainValidator.Item entries which can be used to override the generic and country code lists. Note that any such entries override values provided by the updateTLDOverride(DomainValidator.ArrayType, String[]) method If an entry for a particular type is not provided, then the class override (if any) is retained.
      Parameters:
      allowLocal - Should local addresses be considered valid?
      items - - array of DomainValidator.Item entries
      Returns:
      an 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-insensitive.
      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-insensitive.

      If allowLocal is true, the TLD is checked using isValidLocalTld(String). The TLD is then checked against isValidInfrastructureTld(String), isValidGenericTld(String) and isValidCountryCodeTld(String)

      Parameters:
      tld - the parameter to check for TLD status, not null
      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-insensitive.
      Parameters:
      iTld - the parameter to check for infrastructure TLD status, not null
      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-insensitive.
      Parameters:
      gTld - the parameter to check for generic TLD status, not null
      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-insensitive.
      Parameters:
      ccTld - the parameter to check for country code TLD status, not null
      Returns:
      true if the parameter is a country code TLD
    • isValidLocalTld

      public boolean isValidLocalTld(String lTld)
      Returns true if the specified String matches any widely used "local" domains (localhost or localdomain). Leading dots are ignored if present. The search is case-insensitive.
      Parameters:
      lTld - the parameter to check for local TLD status, not null
      Returns:
      true if the parameter is an local TLD
    • isAllowLocal

      public boolean isAllowLocal()
      Does this instance allow local addresses?
      Returns:
      true if local addresses are allowed.

    • updateTLDOverride

      public static void updateTLDOverride(DomainValidator.ArrayType table, String[] tlds)
      Update one of the TLD override arrays. This must only be done at program startup, before any instances are accessed using getInstance.

      For example:

      DomainValidator.updateTLDOverride(ArrayType.GENERIC_PLUS, new String[]{"apache"})

      To clear an override array, provide an empty array.

      Parameters:
      table - the table to update, see DomainValidator.ArrayType Must be one of the following
      • COUNTRY_CODE_MINUS
      • COUNTRY_CODE_PLUS
      • GENERIC_MINUS
      • GENERIC_PLUS
      • LOCAL_MINUS
      • LOCAL_PLUS
      tlds - the array of TLDs, must not be null
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the method is called after getInstance
      IllegalArgumentException - if one of the read-only tables is requested

    • getTLDEntries

      public static String[] getTLDEntries(DomainValidator.ArrayType table)
      Get a copy of a class level internal array.
      Parameters:
      table - the array type (any of the enum values)
      Returns:
      a copy of the array
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the table type is unexpected (should not happen)
      Since:
      1.5.1
    • getOverrides

      public String[] getOverrides(DomainValidator.ArrayType table)
      Get a copy of an instance level internal array.
      Parameters:
      table - the array type (any of the enum values)
      Returns:
      a copy of the array
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the table type is unexpected, e.g. GENERIC_RO

    • unicodeToASCII

      public static String unicodeToASCII(String input)
      Converts potentially Unicode input to punycode. If conversion fails, returns the original input.
