Hi, everyone!
I'm a bit confused by the library description (see the Git link https://github.com/karwa/swift-url). For example, in the section Project Status - "WebURL is a complete URL library, implementing the latest version of the URL Standard. It currently does not support Internationalized Domain Names (IDNA), but that support is planned." and in the section RoadMap "There is reason to hope this may be implementable soon. Native Unicode normalization was recently implemented in the Swift standard library for String, and there is a desire to expose this functionality to libraries such as this one. Once those APIs are available, we'll be able to use them to implement IDNA."
May I ask to clarify, IDNA support has already been implemented and the description need to be updated or it's just future plans?
Best regards, Vadim.
One caveat I forgot to mention: this work is based on the whatwg URL specification (aka UTS46). The authors even are completely wrong in describing IDNA: “IDNA stands for "Internationalizing Domain Names for Applications". It is defined by Unicode Technical Standard 46, and this is how they describe it…”
UTS46 defining IDNA. Quite a big mistake.
But anyway, overall, moving along, which is good.
Marc.

This is great to know. We hope other technology services companies are able to get this implemented as well.Positive progression towards connecting the unconnected!!

_______________________________________________We have found while testing the Apple SDK and environments that support was “pretty limited”… It has now been implemented directly in Swift in the WebURL underlying framework, so as soon as it is integrated in the next releases of those platforms, all applications will get it “free”. A bit late, but since it has been done in the core, then it encompasses “everything”.

"I'm happy to announce that I just merged support for Unicode domain names (IDNA) in WebURL.It's available right now 16, on the
mainbranch, and it's a big milestone for a lot of reasons.Note: IDNA support is on
main. There will be a release in the ~next few weeks which includes it, but for now you should use a branch-based dependency for IDNA.With this post, I'd like to discuss what IDNA is, why you should support it, how WebURL supports it, and why I think that's such a big deal.
