      Parameters:
      links -

    • parse

      public static Links parse(@Nullable String source)
      Creates a Links instance from the given RFC-8288-compatible link format.
      Parameters:
      source - a comma separated list of Link representations.

    • and

      public Links and(Link... links)
      Creates a new Links instance with all given Links added. For conditional adding see merge(Link...).
      Parameters:

    • andIf

      @SafeVarargs public final Links andIf(boolean condition, Link... links)
      Adds the given links if the given condition is true. The given Links will only be resolved if the given condition is true. Essentially syntactic sugar to write:
      if (a > 3) { links = links.and(…); } as links = link.andIf(a > 3, …);
      Parameters:
      condition -
      links - must not be null.
      Returns:

    • andIf

      @SafeVarargs public final Links andIf(boolean condition, Supplier<Link>... links)
      Adds the given links if the given condition is true. The given Suppliers will only be resolved if the given condition is true. Essentially syntactic sugar to write:
      if (a > 3) { links = links.and(…); } as links = link.andIf(a > 3, …);
      Parameters:
      condition -
      links - must not be null.
      Returns:

    • andIf

      public final Links andIf(boolean condition, Stream<Link> links)
      Adds the given links if the given condition is true. The given Stream will only be resolved if the given condition is true. Essentially syntactic sugar to write:
      if (a > 3) { links = links.and(…); } as links = link.andIf(a > 3, …);
