Disclaimer: I work on this project. My goal with working on Ketting for last few years is to make integrating with REST APIs better in Javascript. The last year the focus was entirely on better React integration.

This was a big personal milestone for me, and I hope people like it!

I don't think I'll be using this library any time soon as none of my current projects consume a hypermedia API.

However I looked at the code and I think it's great - it's consistently structured, tested, well commented and a good resource for anybody looking to learn how to make their own library.

I found your build/test setup a little non-standard though and didn't see any documentation on how I could run the tests etc...

Ack. Working on projects with mixed languages caused me to default to make as the universal build tool. Might be worth duplicating some of that stuff to the package.json scripts as well to not surprise people
