# TLD Enumerations
Lists of every [IANA TLD](http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt) in various formats. The lists may be continuously updated using the [included utility](#updating-the-tld-lists) that pulls the latest data from IANA.
* [CSV Format](./tlds.csv)
* [All Format Files](#tld-list-formats)
* [Updating the Format Files](#updating-the-tld-format-files)
* [Node Usage](#node-usage)
* [PHP Usage](#php-usage)
## Usage
Because the lists are provided in universial CSV and JSON formats, they can be easily utilitized in most programming environments.
Additionally, for convenience, some native programming language formats have also been provided.
* [Node Usage](#node-usage)
* [PHP Usage](#php-usage)
### Node Usage
* use npm to add the `tld-enum` package to your project
```sh
$ npm install tld-enum --save
```
* add the module to your source
```js
const tldEnum = require('tld-enum');
```
* access the list by using the `tldEnum.tldList` array
```js
const tldEnum = require('tld-enum');
tldEnum.list; //an array with every IANA TLD
```
The following example...
```js
const tldEnum = require('tld-enum');
console.log("There are " + tldEnum.list.length + " IANA TLDs");
let tldCheck;
tldCheck = "com";
console.log("Is '" + tldCheck + "' a real TLD?");
if (tldEnum.list.indexOf(tldCheck.toLowerCase()) != -1) {
console.log(" yes");
} else {
console.log(" no");
}
tldCheck = "somethingWeird";
console.log("Is '" + tldCheck + "' a real TLD?");
if (tldEnum.list.indexOf(tldCheck.toLowerCase()) != -1) {
console.log(" yes");
} else {
console.log(" no");
}
```
Should produce the following output...
```txt
There are 1577 IANA TLDs
Is 'com' a real TLD?
yes
Is 'somethingWeird' a real TLD?
no
```
### PHP Usage
* use composer to add the `katmore/tld-enum` package to your project
```sh
$ composer require katmore/tld-enum
```
* access the list by using the `\TldList::TLD_LIST` class constant array
```php
<?php
print_r(\TldList::TLD_LIST); //an array with every IANA TLD
```
The following example...
```php
<?php
use TldEnum\TldList;
echo "There are " . count(TldList::TLD_LIST) . " IANA TLDs\n";
$tldCheck = "com";
echo "Is '$tldCheck' a real TLD?\n";
if (in_array(strtolower($tldCheck), TldList::TLD_LIST)) {
echo " yes\n";
} else {
echo " no\n";
}
$tldCheck = "somethingWeird";
echo "Is '$tldCheck' a real TLD?\n";
if (in_array(strtolower($tldCheck), TldList::TLD_LIST)) {
echo " yes\n";
} else {
echo " no\n";
}
```
Should produce the following output...
```txt
There are 1577 IANA TLDs
Is 'com' a real TLD?
yes
Is 'somethingWeird' a real TLD?
no
```

## TLD List Formats
* **CSV**: [tlds.csv](/tlds.csv)

* [TldType.php](/formats/php/TldEnum/TldType.php)
A PHP source file providing a class constant assoc array with a key for every IANA TLD and the corresponding TLD's "type" as the value.
* [TldInfo.php](/formats/php/TldEnum/TldInfo.php)
A PHP source file providing a class constant array of "info" assoc array elements of every IANA TLD.
* **JSON**
* [tld-list.json](/formats/json/tld-list.json)
A JSON formatted array comprised of every IANA TLD.
* [tld-desc.json](/formats/json/tld-desc.json)
A JSON formatted object with a property for every IANA TLD and the corresponding TLD's "description" as the value.
* [tld-type.json](/formats/json/tld-type.json)
A JSON formatted object with a property for every IANA TLD and the corresponding TLD's "type" as the value.
* [tld-info.json](/formats/json/tld-info.json)

* **JavaScript**
* [list.js](/formats/js/tld-enum/list.json)
An export module with an array comprised of every IANA TLD.
* [desc.js](/formats/js/tld-enum/desc.json)
An export module with an object containing a property for every IANA TLD and the corresponding TLD's "description" as the value.
* [type.js](/formats/js/tld-enum/type.json)
An export module with an object containing a property for every IANA TLD and the corresponding TLD's "type" as the value.
* [info.js](/formats/js/tld-enum/info.json)
An export module with an array comprised of "info" object elements of every IANA TLD.
## Updating the TLD format files
All [TLD List Formats](#tld-list-formats) can be updated with the latest data from IANA by using the [**TLD Update Utility**](/bin/update-formats.sh).
```sh
$ bin/update-formats.sh
```
### TLD Update Utility Prerequisites
* Node.js version 8.11 or higher.
* (Optional) PHP command-line version 7.2 or higher, to create the [PHP format class file](#tld-list-formats).
### TLD Update Utility Usage
```txt
usage:
update-formats.sh [-h] | [-q][--skip-php]
options:
-h,--help: Print a help message and exit.
-q,--quiet: Print less messages.
--force-php: Creating the PHP format file is mandatory.
--skip-php: Always skip creating the PHP format file
```
### TLD Update Helpers
Internally, the *TLD Update Utility* uses multiple *"helper" scripts* to generate the full set of native format lists.
These individual *"helper" scripts* should not be directly executed except for development and troubleshooting purposes.
