RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) WHOIS is an alternative to traditional WHOIS for accessing registration data for domain names, IP addresses, and other internet resources.
Unlike traditional WHOIS, which uses a simple text-based protocol, RDAP uses a more structured and standardized protocol based on JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).
RDAP provides a number of advantages over traditional WHOIS, including improved performance, scalability, and security. RDAP also provides more standardized and consistent data formats, making it easier to automate the processing and analysis of registration data.
An RDAP WHOIS query can also provide security teams with additional privacy protections, such as the ability to restrict access to registration data based on the user's credentials and the use of secure authentication protocols.
