Nope, Google’s quad eights is “recursive DNS server”.
Resolver is usually a part of operating system (sometimes) implementing DNS client functionality and serving as a link between a userland library providing, say, getaddrinfo(), and DNS implementation.
This one is even less than a resolver, it does not implement a library link. It’s a toy DNS client, implementing minimal functionality.
- alfons_foobar 3y agoQuad8 is a recursive resolver. You are referring to a system's local resolver (which is obviously also a resolver, so you are right on this regard). But still, this project is _also_ a resolver (although obviously not a complete one, it's a learning project).
