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.

Status

Currently, it supports all the RFC ASCII and UTF-8 character set rules as well as quoted and unquoted local parts but does not yet support all the productions required for SMTP headers; folding whitespace, comments, etc.

Example

use email_address::*;

assert!(EmailAddress::is_valid("[email protected]"));

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