aiocoap.util.linkformat module¶

This module contains in-place modifications to the LinkHeader module to satisfy RFC6690 constraints.

It is a general nursery for what aiocoap needs of link-format management before any of this is split out into its own package.

class aiocoap.util.linkformat.LinkFormat(links=None)¶

Variation of the now vendered-in link_header package.

This accounts for the RFC6690 constraint (not present in RFC5899) that there be no space after commas or semicolons.

>>> str(LinkFormat([Link("/parent/", rel="up"), Link("/parent/here/child")]))
'</parent/>;rel="up",</parent/here/child>'

class aiocoap.util.linkformat.Link(href, attr_pairs=None, **kwargs)¶: Bases: Link

aiocoap.util.linkformat.parse(linkformat: str | bytes) → LinkFormat¶

Parses RFC6690 links.

Unlike the (now vendored-in) link_header package’s parsing, this

accepts either bytes or strings; the former are decoded as UTF-8
produces types that, in their serialization, account for differences between RFC6690 and RFC5899

>>> parse(b"</hell\xc3\xb6>")
LinkHeader([Link('/hellö')])
>>> parse("</hellö>")
LinkHeader([Link('/hellö')])
