Class IDNA

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.ibm.icu.text.IDNA

public abstract class IDNA
extends Object

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().

The static methods implement IDNA2003.

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).

Method Detail

getUTS46Instance

public static IDNA getUTS46Instance(int options)
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 - Bit set to modify the processing and error checking.
Returns:
the UTS #46 IDNA instance, if successful
Status:
Draft ICU 4.6.

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.

IDNA2003: This function implements the ToASCII operation as defined in the IDNA RFC. This operation is done on single labels before sending it to something that expects ASCII names.

Parameters:
src - The input string to be processed
options - A bit set of options: - IDNA.DEFAULT Use default options, i.e., do not process unassigned code points and do not use STD3 ASCII rules If unassigned code points are found the operation fails with StringPrepParseException. - IDNA.ALLOW_UNASSIGNED Unassigned values can be converted to ASCII for query operations If this option is set, the unassigned code points are in the input are treated as normal Unicode code points. - IDNA.USE_STD3_RULES Use STD3 ASCII rules for host name syntax restrictions If this option is set and the input does not satisfy STD3 rules, the operation will fail with ParseException
Returns:
StringBuffer the converted String
Throws:
StringPrepParseException - When an error occurs for parsing a string.

                                     throws StringPrepParseException
IDNA2003: Function that implements the ToUnicode operation as defined in the IDNA RFC. This operation is done on single labels before sending it to something that expects Unicode names. A label is an individual part of a domain name. Labels are usually separated by dots; for e.g." "www.example.com" is composed of 3 labels "www","example", and "com".

Parameters:
src - The input string as UCharacterIterator to be processed
options - A bit set of options: - IDNA.DEFAULT Use default options, i.e., do not process unassigned code points and do not use STD3 ASCII rules If unassigned code points are found the operation fails with ParseException. - IDNA.ALLOW_UNASSIGNED Unassigned values can be converted to ASCII for query operations If this option is set, the unassigned code points are in the input are treated as normal Unicode code points. - IDNA.USE_STD3_RULES Use STD3 ASCII rules for host name syntax restrictions If this option is set and the input does not satisfy STD3 rules, the operation will fail with ParseException
Returns:
StringBuffer the converted String
Throws:
StringPrepParseException
Status:
Stable ICU 2.8.

convertIDNToUnicode

public static StringBuffer convertIDNToUnicode(UCharacterIterator src,
                                               int options)
                                        throws StringPrepParseException
IDNA2003: Convenience function that implements the IDNToUnicode operation as defined in the IDNA RFC. This operation is done on complete domain names, e.g: "www.example.com". Note: IDNA RFC specifies that a conformant application should divide a domain name into separate labels, decide whether to apply allowUnassigned and useSTD3ASCIIRules on each, and then convert. This function does not offer that level of granularity. The options once set will apply to all labels in the domain name

Parameters:
src - The input string as UCharacterIterator to be processed
options - A bit set of options: - IDNA.DEFAULT Use default options, i.e., do not process unassigned code points and do not use STD3 ASCII rules If unassigned code points are found the operation fails with ParseException. - IDNA.ALLOW_UNASSIGNED Unassigned values can be converted to ASCII for query operations If this option is set, the unassigned code points are in the input are treated as normal Unicode code points. - IDNA.USE_STD3_RULES Use STD3 ASCII rules for host name syntax restrictions If this option is set and the input does not satisfy STD3 rules, the operation will fail with ParseException
Returns:
StringBuffer the converted String
Throws:
StringPrepParseException
Status:

compare

public static int compare(StringBuffer s1,
                          StringBuffer s2,
                          int options)
                   throws StringPrepParseException
IDNA2003: Compare two IDN strings for equivalence. This function splits the domain names into labels and compares them. According to IDN RFC, whenever two labels are compared, they are considered equal if and only if their ASCII forms (obtained by applying toASCII) match using an case-insensitive ASCII comparison. Two domain names are considered a match if and only if all labels match regardless of whether label separators match.

Parameters:
s1 - First IDN string as StringBuffer
s2 - Second IDN string as StringBuffer
options - A bit set of options: - IDNA.DEFAULT Use default options, i.e., do not process unassigned code points and do not use STD3 ASCII rules If unassigned code points are found the operation fails with ParseException. - IDNA.ALLOW_UNASSIGNED Unassigned values can be converted to ASCII for query operations If this option is set, the unassigned code points are in the input are treated as normal Unicode code points. - IDNA.USE_STD3_RULES Use STD3 ASCII rules for host name syntax restrictions If this option is set and the input does not satisfy STD3 rules, the operation will fail with ParseException
Returns:
0 if the strings are equal, > 0 if s1 > s2 and < 0 if s1 < s2
Throws:
StringPrepParseException
Status:
Stable ICU 2.8.
