A reference dataset and library summarizing HTTP encodings, headers, media types, methods, relations, and status codes, with links to their specifications. It is available as JSON data, an Emacs Lisp package with interactive lookup commands, and a JavaScript npm module.

Use cases

• look up what an HTTP status code means
• convert HTTP status phrases to codes in JavaScript
• find the specification for an HTTP header
• look up HTTP methods and link relations in Emacs
• get HTTP reference data as JSON for tooling

When to choose

• you need canonical HTTP semantics data embedded in a tool or editor
• you want a lightweight npm or Emacs package for HTTP status/header lookups
• you need machine-readable HTTP spec summaries in JSON

When to avoid

• you need a full HTTP client or server implementation
• you want up-to-date coverage of brand-new HTTP drafts and extensions
• you need a web-based HTTP documentation site
