
The type attribute value defines the media type (HTTP Content‐Type) of the request or response
document. This attribute is present only for links to objects. It is not present for links to actions.

The href attribute value is a URL, which should be considered an opaque identifier (one that the client
should not attempt to parse or interpret). An href uniquely identifies, and persists for the life of, the
referenced object. These identifiers are never re‐used.

The name attribute value of the Link is the same as the name of the referenced object. Action links do not
include a name attribute.
