How to handle whois data?

Actually the problem is a big larger than that.

You need to detect the format ands use different regular expressions for them. Alternatively as you mentioned you can use XML or even JSON APIs http://whoisxmlapi.com/ http://www.domaintools.com/api/docs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
