publicsuffix-js

WARNING: the current algorithm is broken but I don't have time to fix it up yet. Instead of lots of regexpes, domains should be split on the doc ('.') character and looked-up in a hash tree. If you have time to fix this, please let me know :-p

Implements the algorithm to distinguish separate domains (for example browsers need to know that for their cookies and authorization models). Unfortunately there is no better algorithm than looking-up a published list.

See http://publicsuffix.org/ for more details.

Have fun, Jonas

Ideas for later (or if you want to help)

• Changing the list to a reverse hash tree could be more space efficient. Lookup would maybe also be faster, but there is not efficiency problem for me. A hash tree like {uk: {co: ...

• Provide a mean to update the list at runtime. It's hard to do that in the browser though.
