Crate email_address

A Rust crate providing an implementation of an RFC-compliant EmailAddress newtype.

Primarily for validation, the EmailAddress type is constructed with FromStr::from_str which will raise any parsing errors. Prior to constructions the functions is_valid, is_valid_local_part, and is_valid_domain may also be used to test for validity without constructing an instance. This supports all of the RFC ASCII and UTF-8 character set rules, quoted and unquoted local parts but does not yet support all of the productions required for SMTP headers; folding whitespace, comments, etc.

Example

use email_address::*;

assert!(EmailAddress::is_valid("user.name+tag+sorting@example.com"));

assert_eq!(
    EmailAddress::from_str("Abc.example.com"),
    Error::MissingSeparator.into()
);

Changes

Version 0.2.0

• Added UTF-8 support.
• Added more test cases, fixing defects in parsing.
• Method to_uri now supports URI encoding the address as a part of the URI.
• Added is_valid_local_part and is_valid_domain methods.

Version 0.1.0

• Basic type implementation and structure based on RFC 5322.
• See TODO.

TODO

1. Support comments.
2. Support line-feed and whitespace rules.
3. Does not parse into domain-literal values, only does surface syntax check.
