Email Validator for PHP
=======================

[](#email-validator-for-php)

A small, framework‑agnostic PHP library to validate email addresses with.

Separates **format validity** from **deliverability**, supports **domain typo suggestions**, and lets you plug in custom **providers** for lists and DNS. File/INI list handling is offered via a small adapter.

---

Features
========

[](#features)

- **Format-only validity** (`valid`) — syntax & RFC length checks plus basic domain shape.
- **Deliverability prediction** (`sendable`) — DNS: domain existence + MX records (via pluggable resolver).
- **Domain suggestions** with typo‑distance scoring (Levenshtein or Damerau–Levenshtein)
- **Pluggable list checks** — allow/deny by domain or full address via a `ListProvider`.
- **Clear result model** — typed getters for PHP and compact JSON for APIs.
- A clean, typed **`ValidationResult`** DTO and an optional **OpenAPI** spec for a tiny REST endpoint
- **PHP 8.1+**, Psalm-typed, PHPUnit-tested, PSR-12 styled.

------------
