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.
