When I fell down into the rabbit hole of DNS, I wrote code to just encode and decode DNS packets [1]. All the existing libraries [2] had a complex API that provided a separate function for querying a few record types (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, maybe NS and SOA), leaving the rest unimplemented. They also tend to have complex network architectures to handle retries, caching, and parallel queries which could be hard to integrate into a project that had an existing network framework. Mine? Just two functions: dns_encode() and dns_decode(). No I/O. No malloc(). [1] https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS [2] The ones I was looking at are written in C.
