Rippersnapper

Rippersnapper transforms into a weird upright bipedal shark creature. His finned twin missile launcher weapon mounts on his back in this mode. He launches his attack on any URL, ripping it apart with his baby T-Rex arms!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rippersnapper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rippersnapper

Usage

url = Rippersnapper.parse("http://www.rippersnapper.net")
url.url       # => "http://www.rippersnapper.net" (the original url)
url.suffix    # => "net"
url.domain    # => "rippersnapper"

url = Rippersnapper.parse("http://foo.bar.rippersnapper.co.uk/asdf.html?q=arg")
url.suffix    # => "co.uk"
url.domain    # => "rippersnapper"
url.subdomain # => "foo.bar"
url.path      # => "/asdf.html?q=arg"

# optionally preload suffixes file to avoid loading on each call to `#parse`
Rippersnapper.load_suffixes
# subsequent calls to parse will use the same `SuffixFileReader` instance

# unloading the suffixes simply sets the internal variable to `nil`
Rippersnapper.unload_suffixes

Notable differences between Rippersnapper and Domainatrix

One of Rippersnappers goals is to be a compatible API with Domainatrix, but there are some differences.

1. Rippersnapper chose the method name suffix instead of public_suffix. Domainatrix is misleading with this name, for instance it will return parliment.uk, however this is not a public suffix, it is a private suffix reserved for Parliment.

2. Rippersnapper does not parse http://localhost:3000 at the moment. I chose not to do this b/c http://localhost.com is a valid domain, and will parse, but localhost:3000 is not a domain name, it's a hostname. If you need it let me know and I will reconsider

3. There is no canonical, I didn't understand the use case for it, nor why it is reversed. Several google searches came up short on information.
