Package description
The @types/range-parser package provides TypeScript type definitions for the range-parser package. This allows TypeScript developers to use the range-parser package in a type-safe manner, ensuring that they are using the API correctly according to the expected types. The range-parser package is used to parse HTTP Range header fields, which are commonly used to specify a portion of a document to be returned by the server, enabling efficient partial data fetching.
Parsing Range Headers
This feature allows you to parse the 'Range' header from HTTP requests. The example demonstrates parsing a range string 'bytes=0-499' assuming the total size is 1000. The result would be an array indicating the start and end of the range requested.
import rangeParser from 'range-parser';
const result = rangeParser(1000, 'bytes=0-499');
This package provides functionality to fetch partial content from HTTP resources. It is similar to @types/range-parser in that it deals with HTTP ranges, but it focuses more on the fetching aspect rather than just parsing the range headers.
Similar to @types/range-parser, this package deals with content ranges in HTTP headers. However, it focuses on generating and parsing Content-Range headers for responses, complementing the functionality provided by range-parser for requests.

* @returns `-1` when unsatisfiable and `-2` when syntactically invalid, ranges otherwise.
