Name service components for Bixby.js.

bixby-ns is a set of components for obtaining naming information in a service-oriented application.

This package takes inspiration - for both its name and its functionality - from Name Service Switch (NSS), a source of common configuration and name resolution mechanisms on Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems.

Unlike NSS, bixby-ns solely provides information about static, well-known details, such as service names and protocol numbers. Dynamic information is provided by specialized packages that better suit the requirements of modern, service-oriented architectures including:

  • bixby-sd: Service discovery and hostname-to-address translation.
  • @authnomicon/*: Directory services for user, group, and credential information.
