parse-email-address

Parse, validate, and normalize email addresses, primarily using RFC-5321.

Full docs: https://electrovir.github.io/parse-email-address

This uses and is based on smtp-address-parser v1.1.0, so it has the following features (from smtp-address-parser):

• Domain names must be fully qualified (they must have at least two labels). The top-level domain must have at least two octets.
  • good: name@example.org
  • bad: name@example
  • bad: name@example.x
• Total length limit of an address is 986 octets (based on a 1,000 octet SMTP line length).
• Domain names are limited to 255 octets, when encoded with a length byte before each label, and including the top-level zero length label. So, the effective limit with interstitial dots is 253 octets.
• Labels within a domain name are limited to 63 octets (limits of the DNS protocol).

This package adds the following features:

• Full ESM support (this package natively runs in all modern browsers).
• Documentation.
• More explicit types.
• Simplified API.
• No dependencies.
