I tried the whois command on my ".info" domain but it failed. Supposedly, whois is being phased out and replaced by RDAP.

Is there a Linux client for RDAP? I found "openrdap" but it depends
on the Go language.

Are there others?

That needn’t be an obstacle, Go is easy to install.

Are there others?

https://github.com/icann/icann-rdap includes a command-line tool.

If there’s a prebuilt package available, why should that matter?

Are there others?

You don't mention what distro you're on. As Lawrence D'Olivero
mentions, using a prebuilt package is probably your best bet. On
Fedora, there's perl-rdapper. Needs Perl; you probably have it
installed anyway.

FWIW and you probably already know about this, but there is an online
tool: <https://client.rdap.org/>

It seems that an rdap client is not necessary. Curl will be sufficient:

curl -Ls https://rdap.org/domain/example.com

<https://about.rdap.org/>

But the output is in JSON format and has to be filtered through "jq."

I also wonder why GNU is not/has not developed a rdap client.

Thanks! I was looking if there was a JSON version but couldn't find it mentioned on the page.
