REST Exchange Protocol (REP) Javascript Client Library

This is the javascript client library for the REST Exchange Protocol (REP) which is a protocol for exchanging data between a server and a client. It is based on the REST architectural style and the HTTP protocol, but also the Websocket protocol. It is designed to be simple and lightweight, and to be easy to implement. The unique thing that is the aim of this protocol is to provide an easy way to create REST apis that works in parallel with websockets to provide a real-time communication between the server and client. It also provides a faster communication between the server and client, because it does not need to negotiate a new TCP handshake between requests. Another key thing is Reverse REST which is a way to send REST requests from a server to a client using websockets.
