Sebb commented on VALIDATOR-333:
--------------------------------
There is a much easier to use TLD list at IANA.
This is already used to create the built-in TLD and CC lists.
The PSL includes second and 3rd level entries; this would require changes to
the validation to use, and I wonder if it is perhaps getting out of scope for
Validator.
Howver maybe there is scope for allowing additional optional validation to be
plugged into DomainValidator.
This would potentially allow users to make use of the data themselves.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-333
> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Routines
> Environment: ALL
> Reporter: Fernando Hartmann
> Priority: Minor
>
> Nowadays DomainValidator uses IANA TLDs to evaluate the domains, but Mozilla
> maintains a Public Suffix List http://publicsuffix.org which seems to be more
> complete and used at least by Firefox and Chrome to validate domains.
> It can be a good idea to include this list on the validation process, may be
> as an option.
