Idea: Split DNS into two parts #40

Closed Raphexion closed 2 years ago

Raphexion commented 2 years ago

Dear Elixir-DNS,

Would it make sense to split this package into two? One with the passive code (structs and so on) and one with the more active code (server). Maybe the could be called dns-core and dns.

Pros:

Make the core part more reusable
The core package could drop the socket dependency

Cons:

This project is fine like it is - why complicate things

Kind regards Niklas

Hey, thanks for the comment. I don't really see any reason to do it just yet, given that socket is an excellent library. Still, I'm open to this, if there's more demand.

@tungd Thank you for reading and giving feedback on my idea. I think you have a very valid point. Let's do like you suggest :sunny:
