`http_parser` is a platform-independent package for parsing and serializing
various HTTP-related formats. It's designed to be usable on both the browser and
the server, and thus avoids referencing any types from `dart:io` or `dart:html`.
It includes:
* Support for parsing and formatting dates according to [HTTP/1.1][2616], the
HTTP/1.1 standard.
* A `MediaType` class that represents an HTTP media type, as used in `Accept`
and `Content-Type` headers. This class supports both parsing and formatting
media types according to [HTTP/1.1][2616].
* A `WebSocketChannel` class that provides a `StreamChannel` interface for both
the client and server sides of the [WebSocket protocol][6455] independently of
any specific server implementation.
