[feature] using library as a parser via StringLoader

[deepika-maj]

Is it possible for you to add another loader, something like below, so that the library can be used as a parser without doing actual whois query.

<?php

namespace Iodev\Whois\Loaders;

class StringLoader implements ILoader
{
    private $whoisText;

    public function loadText($whoisHost, $query)
    {
        return $this->whoisText;
    }

    public function setWhoisText($whoisText)
    {
        $this->whoisText = $whoisText;
    }
}

which can be used as:

$whoisClient = Factory::get()->createWhois(new StringLoader());

foreach ($records as $record) {
    $whoisClient->getLoader()->setWhoisText($record['raw_whois_text']);
    $whois = $whoisClient->loadDomainInfo($record['domain']);

    // app logic
}

Bit late @deepika-maj, but you could do that with a custom loader as is. Just set your text on the loader and call the loadDomainInfo() with a generic domain.
