An RFC8288 Parsing Library

What

This is a minimal parser for HTTP Link Headers, basically just a wrapper around a PEG grammar.

API

• parse(text: string, options?: object)
  Parse string as a Link header value, returning an array of link objects.
  The available options are as documented in peggy.

  const { parse, SyntaxError: ParserSyntaxError } = require('@squeep/web-linking');
  const result = parse('</TheBook/chapter2>;rel="previous"; title*=UTF-8\'de\'letztes%20Kapitel,</TheBook/chapter4>;rel="next"; title*=UTF-8\'de\'n%c3%a4chstes%20Kapitel');
  console.log(JSON.stringify(result, undefined, 2));

  Produces this:

  [
    {
      "target": "/TheBook/chapter2",
      "attributes": [
        {
          "name": "rel",
          "extended": false,
          "value": "previous"
        },
        {
          "name": "title*",
          "extended": true,
          "value": "UTF-8'de'letztes%20Kapitel"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "target": "/TheBook/chapter4",
      "attributes": [
        {
          "name": "rel",
          "extended": false,
          "value": "next"
        },
        {
          "name": "title*",
          "extended": true,
          "value": "UTF-8'de'n%c3%a4chstes%20Kapitel"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]

Notes

After updating the grammar, npm run generate will compile the parser.
