Get domain name from given url

Question

Given a URL  I want to extract domain name It should not include  www  part   Url can contain http https  Here is the java code that I wrote  Though It seems to work fine  is there any better approach or are there some edge cases  that could fail   public static String getDomainName String url  throws MalformedURLException      if  url startsWith  http    amp  amp   url startsWith  https              url    http       url                    URL netUrl   new URL url       String host   netUrl getHost        if host startsWith  www             host   host substring  www  length   1             return host      Input  http   google com blah  Output  google com

One of the way I did and worked for all of the cases is using Guava Library and regex in combination   public static String getDomainNameWithGuava String url  throws MalformedURLException     URISyntaxException       String host  new URL url  getHost        String domainName         try          domainName   InternetDomainName from host  topPrivateDomain   toString         catch  IllegalStateException   IllegalArgumentException e           domainName  getDomain url true             return domainName      getDomain   can be any common method with regex

In my case i only needed the main domain and not the subdomain  no  www  or whatever the subdomain is     public static String getUrlDomain String url  throws URISyntaxException       URI uri   new URI url       String domain   uri getHost        String   domainArray   domain split             if  domainArray length    1            return domainArray 0             return domainArray domainArray length - 2          domainArray domainArray length - 1       With this method the url  https   rest webtoapp io llSlider lg en amp t 8  will have for domain  webtoapp io

Here is a short and simple line using InternetDomainName topPrivateDomain   in Guava  InternetDomainName from new URL url  getHost    topPrivateDomain   toString    Given http   www google com blah  that will give you google com  Or  given http   www google co mx  it will give you google co mx   As Sa Qada commented in another answer on this post  this question has been asked earlier  Extract main domain name from a given url  The best answer to that question is from Satya  who suggests Guava s InternetDomainName topPrivateDomain       public boolean isTopPrivateDomain        Indicates whether this domain name is composed of exactly one   subdomain component followed by a public suffix  For example  returns   true for google com and foo co uk  but not for www google com or   co uk        Warning  A true result from this method does not imply that the   domain is at the highest level which is addressable as a host  as many   public suffixes are also addressable hosts  For example  the domain   bar uk com has a public suffix of uk com  so it would return true from   this method  But uk com is itself an addressable host       This method can be used to determine whether a domain is probably the   highest level for which cookies may be set  though even that depends   on individual browsers  implementations of cookie controls  See RFC   2109 for details    Putting that together with URL getHost    which the original post already contains  gives you    import com google common net InternetDomainName   import java net URL   public class DomainNameMain      public static void main final String    args  throws Exception       final String urlString    http   www google com blah       final URL url   new URL urlString       final String host   url getHost        final InternetDomainName name   InternetDomainName from host  topPrivateDomain        System out println urlString       System out println host       System out println name

If the input url is user input  this method gives the most appropriate host name  if not found gives back the input url   private String getHostName String urlInput            urlInput   urlInput toLowerCase            String hostName urlInput          if  urlInput equals                   if urlInput startsWith  http      urlInput startsWith  https                     try                      URL netUrl   new URL urlInput                       String host  netUrl getHost                        if host startsWith  www                             hostName   host substring  www  length   1                        else                          hostName host                                         catch  MalformedURLException e                       hostName urlInput                                 else if urlInput startsWith  www                     hostName urlInput substring  www  length   1                             return  hostName           else              return

I wrote a method  see below  which extracts a url s domain name and which uses simple String matching  What it actually does is extract the bit between the first        or index 0 if there s no       contained  and the first subsequent      or index String length   if there s no subsequent       The remaining  preceding  www       bit is chopped off  I m sure there ll be cases where this won t be good enough but it should be good enough in most cases   Mike Samuel s post above says that the java net URI class could do this  and was preferred to the java net URL class  but I encountered problems with the URI class  Notably  URI getHost   gives a null value if the url does not include the scheme  i e  the  http s   bit          Extracts the domain name from   code url     by means of String manipulation    rather than using the   link URI  or   link URL  class         param url is non-null      return the domain name within   code url       public String getUrlDomainName String url      String domainName   new String url      int index   domainName indexOf            if  index    -1           keep everything after the           domainName   domainName substring index   3          index   domainName indexOf          if  index    -1           keep everything before the         domainName   domainName substring 0  index             check for and remove a preceding  www       followed by any sequence of characters  non-greedy       followed by a          from the beginning of the string   domainName   domainName replaceFirst   www                 return domainName

If you want to parse a URL  use java net URI   java net URL has a bunch of problems -- its equals method does a DNS lookup which means code using it can be vulnerable to denial of service attacks when used with untrusted inputs    Mr  Gosling -- why did you make url equals suck   explains one such problem   Just get in the habit of using java net URI instead   public static String getDomainName String url  throws URISyntaxException       URI uri   new URI url       String domain   uri getHost        return domain startsWith  www      domain substring 4    domain      should do what you want        Though It seems to work fine  is there any better approach or are there some edge cases  that could fail    Your code as written fails for the valid URLs    httpfoo bar -- relative URL with a path component that starts with http  HTTP   example com  -- protocol is case-insensitive    example com  -- protocol relative URL with a host www foo -- a relative URL with a path component that starts with www wwwexample com -- domain name that does not starts with www  but starts with www    Hierarchical URLs have a complex grammar   If you try to roll your own parser without carefully reading RFC 3986  you will probably get it wrong   Just use the one that s built into the core libraries   If you really need to deal with messy inputs that java net URI rejects  see RFC 3986 Appendix B      Appendix B   Parsing a URI Reference with a Regular Expression      As the  first-match-wins  algorithm is identical to the  greedy       disambiguation method used by POSIX regular expressions  it is      natural and commonplace to use a regular expression for parsing the      potential five components of a URI reference       The following line is the regular expression for breaking-down a      well-formed URI reference into its components                                                                  12            3  4          5       6  7        8 9       The numbers in the second line above are only to assist readability       they indicate the reference points for each subexpression  i e   each      paired parenthesis

To get the actual domain name  without the subdomain  I use   private String getDomainName String url  throws URISyntaxException       String hostName   new URI url  getHost        if   hostName contains                 return hostName            String   host   hostName split             return host host length - 2       Note that this won t work with second-level domains  like  co uk
