Type Alias Variant

Variant: "absolute" | "internal" | "relative"

Identifier variant per RFC 3986 §§ 4.2-4.3.

"absolute": Contains scheme (e.g., http://example.org/path, urn:example:resource)
"internal": Root-relative path starting with / (e.g., /path)
"relative": Reference without scheme (e.g., ../path, path)

Remarks

The "internal" variant is a project-specific subset of relative references, not formally defined in RFC 3986.

For opaque URIs (e.g., urn:, mailto:), reference operations adapt their behavior:

resolve: Throws RangeError for relative references (no standard resolution)
internalize: Returns scheme-specific part if schemes match (e.g., example:resource from urn:)
relativize: Returns scheme-specific part if schemes match
