BootstringSwift

BootstringSwift is a pure Swift library to allows you to encode and decode punycoded strings using Bootstring algorithm. Most of all source codes are ported from SwiftBootstring. The version on this repository is added multiple platform support, support for Carthage and Cocoapods.

What is Punycode?

Punycode is a representation of Unicode with the limited ASCII character subset used for Internet host names. Using Punycode, host names containing Unicode characters are transcoded to a subset of ASCII consisting of letters, digits, and hyphen, which is called the Letter-Digit-Hyphen (LDH) subset. For example, München (German name for Munich) is encoded as Mnchen-3ya. (Wikipedia)
