psl (Public Suffix List)

Node.js CI

psl is a JavaScript domain name parser based on the Public Suffix List.

This implementation is tested against the test data hosted by Mozilla and kindly provided by Comodo.

Cross browser testing provided by BrowserStack

What is the Public Suffix List?

The Public Suffix List is a cross-vendor initiative to provide an accurate list of domain name suffixes.

The Public Suffix List is an initiative of the Mozilla Project, but is maintained as a community resource. It is available for use in any software, but was originally created to meet the needs of browser manufacturers.

A "public suffix" is one under which Internet users can directly register names. Some examples of public suffixes are ".com", ".co.uk" and "pvt.k12.wy.us". The Public Suffix List is a list of all known public suffixes.

Source: http://publicsuffix.org

Installation

This module is available both for Node.js and the browser. See below for more details.

Node.js

npm install psl

ESM

From version v1.11.0 you can now import psl as ESM.

import psl from 'psl';

CommonJS

If your project still uses CommonJS on Node.js v12 or later (with support for conditional exports), you can continue importing the module like in previous versions.

const psl = require('psl');

⚠️ If you are using Node.js v10 or older (😰), you can still use the latest version of this module, but you will need to import the bundled UMD.

var psl = require('psl/dist/psl.umd.cjs');

Browser

Using a bundler

If you are using a bundler to build your app, you should be able to import and/or require the module just like in Node.js.

ESM (using a CDN)

In modern browsers you can also import the ESM directly from a CDN. For example:

import psl from 'https://unpkg.com/psl@latest/dist/psl.mjs';

UMD / CommonJS

Finally, you can still download dist/psl.umd.cjs and include it in a script tag.

<script src="psl.umd.cjs"></script>

This script is bundled and wrapped in a umd wrapper so you should be able to use it standalone or together with a module loader.

The script is also available on most popular CDNs. For example:

API

psl.parse(domain)

Parse domain based on Public Suffix List. Returns an Object with the following properties:

  • tld: Top level domain (this is the public suffix).
  • sld: Second level domain (the first private part of the domain name).
  • domain: The domain name is the sld + tld.
  • subdomain: Optional parts left of the domain.

Examples

Parse domain without subdomain:

import psl from 'psl';

const parsed = psl.parse('google.com');
console.log(parsed.tld); // 'com'
console.log(parsed.sld); // 'google'
console.log(parsed.domain); // 'google.com'
console.log(parsed.subdomain); // null

Parse domain with subdomain:

import psl from 'psl';

const parsed = psl.parse('www.google.com');
console.log(parsed.tld); // 'com'
console.log(parsed.sld); // 'google'
console.log(parsed.domain); // 'google.com'
console.log(parsed.subdomain); // 'www'

Parse domain with nested subdomains:

import psl from 'psl';

const parsed = psl.parse('a.b.c.d.foo.com');
console.log(parsed.tld); // 'com'
console.log(parsed.sld); // 'foo'
console.log(parsed.domain); // 'foo.com'
console.log(parsed.subdomain); // 'a.b.c.d'

psl.get(domain)

Get domain name, sld + tld. Returns null if not valid.

Examples

import psl from 'psl';

// null input.
psl.get(null); // null

// Mixed case.
psl.get('COM'); // null
psl.get('example.COM'); // 'example.com'
psl.get('WwW.example.COM'); // 'example.com'

// Unlisted TLD.
psl.get('example'); // null
psl.get('example.example'); // 'example.example'
psl.get('b.example.example'); // 'example.example'
psl.get('a.b.example.example'); // 'example.example'

// TLD with only 1 rule.
psl.get('biz'); // null
psl.get('domain.biz'); // 'domain.biz'
psl.get('b.domain.biz'); // 'domain.biz'
psl.get('a.b.domain.biz'); // 'domain.biz'

// TLD with some 2-level rules.
psl.get('uk.com'); // null);
psl.get('example.uk.com'); // 'example.uk.com');
psl.get('b.example.uk.com'); // 'example.uk.com');

// More complex TLD.
psl.get('c.kobe.jp'); // null
psl.get('b.c.kobe.jp'); // 'b.c.kobe.jp'
psl.get('a.b.c.kobe.jp'); // 'b.c.kobe.jp'
psl.get('city.kobe.jp'); // 'city.kobe.jp'
psl.get('www.city.kobe.jp'); // 'city.kobe.jp'

// IDN labels.
psl.get('食狮.com.cn'); // '食狮.com.cn'
psl.get('食狮.公司.cn'); // '食狮.公司.cn'
psl.get('www.食狮.公司.cn'); // '食狮.公司.cn'

// Same as above, but punycoded.
psl.get('xn--85x722f.com.cn'); // 'xn--85x722f.com.cn'
psl.get('xn--85x722f.xn--55qx5d.cn'); // 'xn--85x722f.xn--55qx5d.cn'
psl.get('www.xn--85x722f.xn--55qx5d.cn'); // 'xn--85x722f.xn--55qx5d.cn'

psl.isValid(domain)

Check whether a domain has a valid Public Suffix. Returns a Boolean indicating whether the domain has a valid Public Suffix.

Example

import psl from 'psl';

psl.isValid('google.com'); // true
psl.isValid('www.google.com'); // true
psl.isValid('x.yz'); // false

Testing and Building

There are tests both for Node.js and the browser (using Playwright and BrowserStack).

# Run tests in node.
npm test
# Run tests in browserstack.
npm run test:browserstack

# Update rules from publicsuffix.org
npm run update-rules

# Build ESM, CJS and UMD and create dist files
npm run build

Feel free to fork if you see possible improvements!
