API to strip out second-level domains (or the complete list in CSV or whatever format)

Question

Where could I find a code (javascript would be the best) to strip out the www and second-level domain names from URLs?

Example:

www.ynet.co.il -> ynet (stripped 'co.il' - two tokens)
www.nike.com -> nike (stripped 'com' - one token)

etc

As a second best - the full list of second-level domains (preferably in CSV or any other format) will be welcomed as well.

If you use Java, Guava can help you here.

Guava (as well as Mozilla/Firefox, Chrome and Opera) use the Public Suffix List for this functionality (the raw data is here).

tld.js is a JavaScript library that uses that data as well.

That one is obvious, the tricky part of the question is to know what to strip out. – BreakPhreak Nov 15 '12 at 13:52
I'll be happy to hear any justified reason for the downvoice. – BreakPhreak Nov 15 '12 at 13:57
you can use 'parser.hostname' and filter any value out of the following list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains (I did not downvote btw) – Pieter Willaert Nov 15 '12 at 13:57
