A question to Java experts
by Mark Datysgeld Dec. 5, 2020

Dec. 5, 2020

Hello everyone, I am seeking input from the community as we start to wrap up our investigation on open-source software in Java and Python. I am copying John L and Marc B, as I am aware they might have ideas on this matter, but this is a call to all experts. Question: When we consider libraries *directly* related to UA within the Java context, is it correct to say that these are the most relevant ones? *icu4j, commons-validator, ***libidn (deprecated, for older software only) ** Here we exclude considerations such as whether a popular set of libraries like Guava can handle IDNs (which I think is usually handled by the InternetDomainName class, which needs a ToASCII transformation before it can process them properly. Marc B's tests show 14 working test cases out of 18, but I dunno what under configuration). If those are not the only very relevant libraries, what others should be considered? Best regards, -- Mark W. Datysgeld from Governance Primer [www.markwd.website] ICANN GNSO Councilor
