Link Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Enables consistent hyperlink handling across components and third-party integrations, reducing custom code and technical debt.
• Supports roadmap goals for interoperability by adhering to PHP-FIG standards, ensuring compatibility with future PSR-compliant libraries.
• Avoids reinventing the wheel for link interfaces, making it a "buy" decision over building in-house solutions for standard link representations.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt when building PHP applications that require standardized link handling (e.g., APIs, CMS, frameworks) and need interoperability with other PSR-compliant tools.
• Use PHP 8.0+ as the minimum requirement (per package's 1.1.0+ versions).
• Consider alternatives if the project doesn't deal with hyperlinks, requires a full implementation (since this is only interfaces), or uses legacy PHP versions.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

Executives: "This lightweight PSR-13 interface package ensures our platform integrates seamlessly with the broader PHP ecosystem, eliminating custom link-handling code and reducing long-term maintenance costs. It's a strategic investment in interoperability that future-proofs our architecture against evolving standards."
Engineering: "By adopting this standard, our components can work with any PSR-13 implementation, enabling modular design and easier integration with third-party libraries. It reduces duplication, simplifies testing, and aligns with industry best practices for PHP development."
