  }

## Metadata
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to DigitalOcean.

var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE')
var DIGITALOCEAN = NewDnsProvider("digitalocean", "DIGITALOCEAN");

D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DIGITALOCEAN),
    A("test","1.2.3.4")

## Limitations

- Digialocean DNS doesn't support `;` value with CAA-records ([DigitalOcean documentation](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/dns/how-to/create-caa-records/))
- No support for TXT records with multiple strings, as the API prevents espacing quotes.
