crates.io: async-std-resolver

Hickory DNS is a safe and secure DNS library, for async-std. This Resolver library uses the hickory-proto library to perform all DNS queries. The Resolver is intended to be a high-level library for any DNS record resolution see Resolver and AsyncResolver for supported resolution types. The Client can be used for other queries.

crates.io: hickory-server

Hickory DNS is a safe and secure DNS server with DNSSEC support. Eventually this could be a replacement for BIND9. The DNSSEC support allows for live signing of all records, in it does not currently support records signed offline. The server supports dynamic DNS with SIG0 authenticated requests. Hickory DNS is based on the Tokio and Futures libraries, which means it should be easily integrated into other software that also use those libraries.

crates.io: hickory-client

Hickory DNS is a safe and secure DNS library. This is the Client library with DNSSEC support. DNSSEC with NSEC validation for negative records, is complete. The client supports dynamic DNS with SIG0 authenticated requests, implementing easy to use high level functions. Hickory DNS is based on the Tokio and Futures libraries, which means it should be easily integrated into other software that also use those libraries.

crates.io: hickory-recursor

*WARNING* This library is experimental Hickory DNS Recursor is a safe and secure DNS recursive resolver with DNSSEC support. Hickory DNS is based on the Tokio and Futures libraries, which means it should be easily integrated into other software that also use those libraries. This library can be used as in the server and binary for performing recursive lookups.
