Zone Parser

Zone Parser is a simple to use Go library that can parse bind like DNS-Zones.

Reading existing zone files

func main() {
	zoneFile, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("myzonefile")
	zone := ParseZone(string(zoneFile))
}

Writing a Zone to a file

Note that ToZoneFile will not preserve the format of zones that where parsed by ParseZone.

func main() {
	zoneFile, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("myzonefile")
	zone := ParseZone(string(zoneFile))
	zoneFile = zone.ToZoneFile() // Returns zone as string
}

Updating the serial

Zone Parser can update the serial of your zone. There are two differend methods of serial updating available. You can use Zone.UpdateSerial for updating the serial with the current UTC UNIX timestamp or Zone.UpdateSerialRFC to update your zone with the RFC compliant serial representation.

func updateSerial(z *Zone) {
		z.UpdateSerial() // z.SOA.Serial -> UNIX timestamp
		z.UpdateSerialRFC() // z.SOA.Serial -> RFC compliant representation (yyyymmdd00)
}
