- - com.martiansoftware.jsap.stringparsers.InetAddressStringParser

```
public class InetAddressStringParser
extends StringParser
```
A StringParser for parsing java.net.InetAddress objects. The parse() method delegates the actual parsing to InetAddress.getByName(String). If InetAddress.getByName() throws an UnknownHostException, it is encapsulated in a ParseException and re-thrown.
