Alternative (slimmer) client approach to miekg/dns

Less is more.

Complete and usable DNS library. All Resource Records are supported, including the DNSSEC types. It follows a lean and mean philosophy. If there is stuff you should know as a DNS programmer there isn't a convenience function for it.

Server side and client side programming is NOT supported

This repository tries to keep the "master" branch as sane as possible and at the bleeding edge of standards, avoiding breaking changes whoever responsible.

Goals

• Slim;

Building

This library uses Go modules and uses semantic versioning. Building is done with the go tool, so the following should work:

go get github.com/AZ-X/dns
go build github.com/AZ-X/dns
