= Public Suffix List

* http://github.com/toddsundsted/Public-Suffix-List

== Description

The Public Suffix List (http://publicsuffix.org/) is "a cross-vendor
initiative to provide an accurate list of domain name suffixes". Such
a list is necessary because "there was and remains no algorithmic
method of finding the highest level at which a domain may be
registered for a particular top-level domain (the policies differ with
each registry)...". Public Suffix List is also a small Ruby library
designed to make the Public Suffix List (http://publicsuffix.org/)
easier to use.

== Features

* Transparent download of the TLD data file
* Optional caching of parsed data
* Tiny API

== Synopsis

  PublicSuffixList.new.tld("foobar.com") # downloads the latest data file and returns "com"

== Requirements

None that I am aware of.

== Install

  sudo gem install public-suffix-list
