This gem allows easy conversion from punycode ACE strings to unicode UTF-8 strings and visa versa.

The implementation is heavily based on the RFC3492 C example implementation but simplified since it does not preserve case.

This gem works with Ruby 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2.

== Installation

  [sudo] gem install simpleidn

+sudo+ is optional depending on your setup.

In your Ruby script you can now.

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'simpleidn'

  SimpleIDN.to_unicode("xn--mllerriis-l8a.com")
  => "møllerriis.com"

	SimpleIDN.to_ascii("møllerriis.com")
  => "xn--mllerriis-l8a.com"

== Testing / RSpec

In order to run the test suite you must have <tt>rspec</tt> installed.

The test suite has been copied from the IDN gem and uses examples from JOSEFSSON test vectors, taken from DRAFT-JOSEFSSON-IDN-TEST-VECTORS-00:

== Known issues

Does not preserve uppercase. So if, for some reason, you use uppercase characters (eg. Ø instead of ø), please take note of that.

Please report any issues!
