What's the use case? Or just a fun programming task? Wouldn't this hammer wikipedia unnecessarily? DNS are very quick, lightweight requests.

  This is not doing DNS. This is "domain name autocomplete".

    It's using Wikipedia as a provider for CNAME records. Does it count as DNS?
    • fundad 4y ago
      No because using this also requires DNS

  If you want to visit a site like 'The Pirate Bay' or 'Sci-Hub' by name, Wikipedia provides the URL, whereas google doesn't.

  Use cases are given on the github page. It's useful for sites that aren't indexed by Google and for avoiding spam.
