Some HTTP API expose a Link header for pagination (See GitHub API or Sentry API), so it's necessary to parse this header to consume the API.

Since we already have a WebLink component, I think it's a good fit to add the logic for parsing the HTTP header into this component.

The existing packages use simplified pattern and does not support all the spec features:

final + no base type = not SOLID

I blindly replicated the same thing as HttpHeaderSerializer. Let's remove the final.

We should remove final there also then.
BTW, did you consider a service definition to allow autowiring?

I removed the final from the other class and added framework integration.

Should we add an interface to provide autowiring based on the interface rather than the concrete implementation ?

In absolute terms, that's what we should do. We would do the same for HttpHeaderSerializer then.
But I don't see why anyone would write a different implementation.

$rels = preg_split('/\s+/', trim($params['rel']));
unset($params['rel']);

$link = new Link(array_shift($rels), $href);

I'd suggest starting with null instead of array_shift, it should be more performant

what should be done if rel is an array because it is specified multiple times ?

Good question. I'll take the first value according to the spec:

5.3. Relation Type
The relation type of a link is conveyed in the "rel" parameter's value. The "rel" parameter MUST NOT appear more than once in a given link-value; occurrences after the first MUST be ignored by parsers.

I wonder if we should still return links that doesn't have a rel attribute. They will never be returned by getLinksByRel, but give exhaustivity if the parser is used for tests.

Updated to return links without rel.
