*valid email format... (is better? :) )
When someone says isurl checks if a string is a valid url, I
don't think the general assumption is that it makes a network
call to check if it is a resolvable url. (could be mistaken of
course, but not to me at least). Isurl checks that the format is
correct. Same for isemail. The isemail API and the docs all use
the term valid as well.
Plus, to further see how hard it is to validate an email, these
are apparently all erroneous results (granted wikipedia could be
wrong as well):
import std.net.isemail, std.stdio;
void main() {
isEmail("john.smith(comment)@example.com").valid.writeln; //
is valid, prints false
isEmail("user@[2001:DB8::1]").valid.writeln; // is valid,
prints false
isEmail(`" "@example.org`).valid.writeln; // not valid,
prints true
isEmail(`"very.unusual. at .unusual.com"@example.com`).valid.writeln; // not valid, prints true
}
