## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

getdns is a C implementation of a modern asynchronous DNS API. It was designed to expose DNS data, DNSSEC validation, event-loop integration, and DNS privacy features to application developers who do not want to hand-code low-level resolver behavior.

### Projektgeschichte

The API specification was originally edited by Paul Hoffman, and the open source C implementation has been developed with NLnet Labs, Sinodun, and No Mountain Software. The GitHub repository dates to 2014 and the release history shows a 1.x line that added DNS privacy work, CMake builds, platform fixes, and Stubby integration.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

getdns occupies a specialized layer in the DNS ecosystem: lower-level than application frameworks but higher-level than raw resolver libraries. Its distribution through Homebrew and major Unix-like package managers reflects use by DNS engineers, resolver-tool authors, and privacy-focused networking users.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Practitioners use libgetdns in C programs that need asynchronous DNS lookups, DNSSEC status, IDNA handling, event-loop adapters, or DNS-over-TLS behavior. The package also installs `getdns_query` for command-line testing and `getdns_server_mon` for server capability checks.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package maintainers, getdns is important because optional features map directly to dependency choices: OpenSSL, libunbound, libidn2, event-loop libraries, and Stubby support all affect the build. Its packaging footprint therefore records how each platform chooses resolver, DNSSEC, and DNS privacy tradeoffs.

### Zeitleiste

- 2014: The public GitHub repository for getdns was created.
- 2019: The 1.6.0 beta moved the build system to CMake.
- 2020: Version 1.6.0 was released.
- 2021: Version 1.7.0 added transport and DNS behavior fixes.
- 2022: Version 1.7.3 shipped as a quickfix release with Stubby 0.4.3.

### Related projects

- getdns is closely related to Stubby, Unbound, libidn2, OpenSSL, and event-loop libraries such as libevent, libuv, and libev.
