• A naming convention for components, packages, types, or file names used by a programming language, system, or framework. Reverse-DNS strings are based on registered domain names, with the order of the components reversed for grouping purposes. For example, if a company making the product “MyProduct” has the domain name “example.com”, they could use the reverse-DNS string “com.example.MyProduct” as an identifier for that product. Reverse-DNS names are a simple way of eliminating namespace collisions, since any registered domain name is globally unique to its owner. ← Wikipedia
