doggo is a modern command-line DNS client for humans, written in Go and inspired by the Rust tool 'dog'. It supports multiple DNS transport protocols (DoH, DoT, DoQ, DNSCrypt, UDP, TCP) with human-readable and JSON output.

Use cases

• look up DNS records for a domain from the terminal
• query DNS over HTTPS instead of plain UDP
• get JSON DNS output for scripting and parsing
• perform reverse DNS lookups on IP addresses
• test DNS resolvers with EDNS options like client subnet
• replace dig with a friendlier DNS client

When to choose

• you need a human-friendly dig alternative with color-coded output
• you want to test DoH, DoT, DoQ, or DNSCrypt resolvers
• you need scriptable JSON DNS query results
• you want a single cross-platform static binary with no dependencies

When to avoid

• you need a full DNS server or recursive resolver
• you require zone transfers or advanced dig features like batch zone analysis
• you need a GUI-first DNS debugging tool
