php-pico/http-link
==================

[](#php-picohttp-link)

A PSR-13 compliant HTTP Hypermedia Link package.

Implements [`psr/link`](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-13/): `Link` implements `LinkInterface` and `EvolvableLinkInterface`; `LinkProvider` implements `LinkProviderInterface` and `EvolvableLinkProviderInterface`. Both classes are immutable — every `with*`/`without*` method returns a new instance.

This package only represents links as PHP objects (data + metadata). It does not render them — turning a `Link`/`LinkProvider` into a `Link` HTTP header, HTML `` tag, or HAL/JSON:API payload is out of scope and left to your application or a separate serialization library.
