Core Linkify

The basic code included in linkify.js that contains general link-finding logic. It is required by all interfaces and contains no code for converting links to anchor tags.

Interface

String -> link conversion for a certain environment or use-case. At least one interface is recommended to make linkify actually useful.

Interfaces are provided for:

• Plain-text strings
• HTML strings
• Native DOM elements
• jQuery elements
• React components

Plugin

Plugins allow linkify to detect new kinds of links, such as @mentions or #hashtags. Plugins are not required.
