mdns-js-packet

DNS packet parser specifically built for mdns-js mdns-js but it should be generic enough to do general dns stuff.

You probably want to have a look at native-dns-packet first and if that does do what you need, you might start looking at this.

mdns-js-packet should produce the same output as native-dns-packet, it even uses it's test fixtures and borrows some parts of it.

This was made before i knew about native-dns-packet but since that still has some bugs in handling some mDNS packets I cant use it.

example

var dns = require('mnds-js-packet');
 
/*some code that will get you a dns message buffer*/
 
var result = dns.DNSPacket.parse(message);
 
console.log(result);

Look at examples/dnsresolver.js for a more detailed example.

Contribute

I will gladly accept any contributions as pull requests. Just run npm run lint on the code first so that the coding style is kept somewhat consistent. I miss doing this myself from time to time and I won't go ballistic if anyone else forget but I would really appreciate it.
