resolver

A resolver is a system component that helps convert human-friendly names, like "www.example.com," into machine-readable addresses, such as IP addresses, which computers use to locate each other on a network. Think of it as a phone book for the internet: when you type a website address, the resolver looks up the corresponding address to connect your device to the website. This process involves querying various servers until it finds the correct address, allowing seamless access to online resources.
