http-link-header

A Haskell library than implements a parser and a writer for the HTTP Link header as specified in RFC 5988 "Web Linking". Very fast. Not 100% compliant (does anyone actually use title*?). Liberal parser, conservative writer.

Usage

import Network.HTTP.Link

----- Writing
writeLinkHeader [ Link "https://example.com/hello world" [(Rel, "next"), (Title, "hello world")]
                , Link "https://yolo.tld" [(Rel, "license")] ]
-- "<https://example.com/hello%20world>; rel=\"next\"; title=\"hello world\", <https://yolo.tld>; rel=\"license\""

----- Parsing
parseLinkHeader "<https://example.com/2>; rel=\"next\", <https://example.com/0>; rel=prev"
-- Just [ Link "https://example.com/2" [(Rel, "next")]
--      , Link "https://example.com/0" [(Rel, "prev")] ]
