+
+## Architecture Overview
+The library exposes a cohesive API surface through two entry points:
+- Node.js: src/index.js exports the entire suite including the new DNS module
+- Browser: src/browser.js wraps the Node exports and attaches to window/global
+
+Formatting utilities are provided by a factory that receives the API client, enabling dynamic property retrieval and estimation functions. Numeric and cryptographic utilities are standalone modules designed for reuse across modules. The DNS module integrates seamlessly with the existing architecture for decentralized domain name resolution.

+
+## Detailed Component Analysis
+
+### Configuration Management
+- Purpose: centralize runtime configuration with simple get/set accessors
+- Behavior: loads defaults from config.json and exposes functions to retrieve or update values
+- Usage pattern: import config and call get(key) or set(key, value)
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+Start(["Load config"]) --> Read["Read defaultConfig from config.json"]
+Read --> Expose["Expose get(key) and set(key,value)"]
+Expose --> Use["Modules call config.get/set"]
+Use --> End(["Done"])
+```

+- [config.json:1-7](file://config.json#L1-L7)
+
+### Environment Detection and Global Exposure
+- Purpose: ensure the library is usable in both browser and Node.js
+- Behavior: creates a viz object containing all modules and attaches it to window/global when available
+- Cross-platform: guards typeof window and typeof global to avoid errors in non-browser/non-node environments
+- **Updated**: Now includes DNS module in browser exports

+
+## DNS Nameserver Module
+
+**New Section**: The VIZ DNS Nameserver module provides comprehensive support for decentralized domain name resolution on the VIZ blockchain. It enables storing and managing DNS records (A and TXT) within account metadata, facilitating human-readable domain names for blockchain applications.
+
+### Core Functionality
+The DNS module offers four main categories of functionality:
+
+#### Validation Functions
+- `isValidIPv4(ipv4)`: Validates IPv4 address format using regex pattern matching
+- `isValidSHA256Hash(hash)`: Validates SHA256 hexadecimal hash strings (exactly 64 hex characters)
+- `isValidTTL(ttl)`: Validates time-to-live values (positive integers)
+- `isValidTxtRecord(txt)`: Validates TXT record values (1-256 characters)
+- `isValidSslTxtRecord(txt)`: Specialized validator for SSL certificate hash records
+
+#### Record Creation Functions
+- `createARecord(ipv4)`: Creates A record tuples for IPv4 address resolution
+- `createSslTxtRecord(hash)`: Creates SSL certificate hash TXT records
+- `createTxtRecord(value)`: Creates generic TXT record tuples
+- `createNsMetadata(options)`: Creates complete NS metadata objects with TTL support
+
+#### Parsing and Extraction Functions
+- `parseNsMetadata(jsonMetadata)`: Parses NS metadata from JSON strings or objects
+- `extractARecords(jsonMetadata)`: Extracts all IPv4 addresses from NS records
+- `extractSslHash(jsonMetadata)`: Extracts SSL certificate hash from TXT records
+- `extractTxtRecords(jsonMetadata)`: Extracts all TXT record values
+- `extractTtl(jsonMetadata)`: Extracts TTL value with default fallback
+- `getNsSummary(jsonMetadata)`: Provides comprehensive record summary
+- `hasNsRecords(jsonMetadata)`: Checks for presence of NS records
+
+#### Metadata Manipulation Functions
+- `mergeNsMetadata(existingMetadata, nsData)`: Merges NS data into existing metadata
+- `removeNsMetadata(existingMetadata)`: Removes NS data from metadata
+- `addARecord(jsonMetadata, ipv4)`: Adds A record to existing metadata
+- `removeARecord(jsonMetadata, ipv4)`: Removes specific A record
+- `setSslHash(jsonMetadata, hash)`: Sets or updates SSL hash
+- `removeSslHash(jsonMetadata)`: Removes SSL hash record
+- `setTtl(jsonMetadata, ttl)`: Updates TTL value
+- `validateNsMetadata(nsData)`: Comprehensive metadata validation
+
+### Constants and Configuration
+The module defines several important constants:
+- `DEFAULT_TTL`: 28800 seconds (8 hours) default TTL
+- `MAX_TXT_LENGTH`: 256 character limit for TXT records
+- `SHA256_HEX_LENGTH`: 64 character length for SHA256 hashes
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+#### Creating DNS Records
+```javascript
+const viz = require('viz-js-lib');
+
+// Create A records for domain resolution
+const nsMetadata = viz.dns.createNsMetadata({
+  aRecords: ['188.120.231.153', '192.168.1.100'],
+  sslHash: '4a4613daef37cbc5c4a5156cd7b24ea2e6ee2e5f1e7461262a2df2b63cbf17e2',
+  ttl: 28800
+});
+
+// Parse existing metadata
+const parsed = viz.dns.parseNsMetadata(account.json_metadata);
+const aRecords = viz.dns.extractARecords(parsed);
+const sslHash = viz.dns.extractSslHash(parsed);
+```
+
+#### Validating DNS Data
+```javascript
+// Validate individual components
+const isValidIP = viz.dns.isValidIPv4('188.120.231.153');
+const isValidSSL = viz.dns.isValidSslTxtRecord('ssl=4a4613daef37cbc5c4a5156cd7b24ea2e6ee2e5f1e7461262a2df2b63cbf17e2');
+const isValidTTL = viz.dns.isValidTTL(28800);
+
+// Validate complete metadata structure
+const validation = viz.dns.validateNsMetadata(nsMetadata);
+```
+
+#### Managing DNS Metadata
+```javascript
+// Add A record to existing metadata
+const updatedMetadata = viz.dns.addARecord(existingMetadata, '10.0.0.1');
+
+// Set SSL hash
+const sslMetadata = viz.dns.setSslHash(updatedMetadata, 'new_hash_value');
+
+// Remove SSL hash
+const cleanMetadata = viz.dns.removeSslHash(sslMetadata);
+
+// Update TTL
+const ttlUpdated = viz.dns.setTtl(cleanMetadata, 3600);
+```
+
+### Integration with VIZ Blockchain
+The DNS module integrates seamlessly with VIZ blockchain operations:
+- Stores DNS records in account `json_metadata` field
+- Uses NS (Nameserver) record format compatible with VIZ standards
+- Supports TTL (Time-To-Live) for record expiration
+- Enables SSL certificate hash verification for secure connections
+- Provides backward compatibility with existing account metadata

+
+## Dependency Analysis
+Utilities depend on configuration, API clients, and cryptographic primitives. The formatter module depends on the API client to fetch global properties for estimations. The broadcast helpers depend on the API to retrieve account data and on the broadcaster to submit transactions. The DNS module operates independently but integrates with the existing module ecosystem.

+
+## Performance Considerations
+- Prefer precomputed or cached global properties when estimating account values to reduce API calls
+- Avoid repeated JSON parsing/stringification in tight loops; reuse parsed objects where possible
+- Use toImpliedDecimal/fromImpliedDecimal for precise asset arithmetic to prevent floating-point drift
+- Minimize DOM-dependent entropy gathering in headless environments; fallback to hashing in Node.js
+- Batch broadcast operations when adding/removing multiple authorities to reduce network overhead
+- **New**: Cache DNS validation results for frequently accessed domains to improve performance
+- **New**: Use TTL values strategically to balance freshness with reduced metadata updates
+
+## Troubleshooting Guide
+- Configuration not applied: verify config.json exists and config.get/set are invoked after module load
+- Formatting errors: ensure numeric inputs are strings or numbers within safe integer bounds before conversion
+- Authority updates failing: confirm account exists, authority structure is valid, and weights are set appropriately
+- Entropy issues: ensure sufficient browser entropy is available; fallback hashing occurs automatically
+- Address validation failures: check prefix matches configured address_prefix and checksum verification passes
+- **New**: DNS validation failures: verify IPv4 addresses match regex pattern, SHA256 hashes are exactly 64 hex characters, and TTL values are positive integers
+- **New**: Metadata parsing errors: ensure JSON metadata is properly formatted and contains required `ns` array and `ttl` fields
+- **New**: SSL hash validation: remember that SSL hashes are automatically lowercased when created

+## Appendices
+
+### Practical Examples and Integration Patterns
+- Using formatter utilities:
+  - Estimate account value: call the estimation function with an account object and optional global properties
+  - Generate a suggested password: use the password creation utility for secure, WIF-derived credentials
+  - Format amounts: append asset suffixes and apply thousand separators for display
+- Numeric conversions:
+  - Convert amounts to implied decimals before broadcasting operations
+  - Convert back to human-readable form for display
+- String processing:
+  - Normalize identifiers using camelCase conversion
+  - Validate account names before registration or delegation
+- Broadcasting authority changes:
+  - Use helper functions to add or remove authorized accounts safely
+- Environment usage:
+  - In Node.js, require the main index module
+  - In browsers, include the browser entry to expose the viz object globally
+- **New**: DNS Nameserver usage:
+  - Create DNS metadata for account registration: use `createNsMetadata()` with A records and optional SSL hash
+  - Validate DNS data before submission: use validation functions for IP addresses, hashes, and TTL values
+  - Parse existing DNS records: use `parseNsMetadata()` to extract A records and SSL hashes from account metadata
+  - Manage DNS metadata: use manipulation functions to add, remove, or update DNS records
+  - Integrate with blockchain operations: store DNS metadata in account `json_metadata` field for decentralized domain resolution
