http-link-header is a JavaScript library designed for parsing and formatting HTTP Link headers as defined by RFC 8288 (which supersedes RFC 5988). The current stable version is 1.1.3, last published in 2018, indicating a low or absent release cadence. A key characteristic is its explicit deviation from RFC 8288 regarding relative URI-References: the library does *not* automatically resolve them, leaving this responsibility to the user. This design choice is critical for developers to be aware of, as it means the parsed URIs might not be absolute without further processing. The library provides methods for parsing single or multiple headers, checking for specific references, retrieving references by attribute, and setting/uniquely setting new references, along with stringifying Link objects back into HTTP header format.
