I'm working on an isomorphic transport library

I'm working for some time on this framework agnostic library called ironwingjs. I want to provide an abstract transport layer so the developer shouldn't worry much about how the client communicates with the server. Right now it works well with RESTful APIs.

Ironwing basically follows the REST way to communicate with the API so if your API is restful(ish) you just fire up ironwing, point it to the api url and you can manipualte your resources. Also this library now works on both nodejs and in the browser (for server-side rendering and other purposes).

(inspired by http from Angular 2 and REST adapter from Ember)

I would appreciate some feedback on this, maybe some pointers on new features. I don't know yet how useful this library is, but it is something I want to continue to build and I think it might become helpful. I want to make it as general as possible.

Some features I will plan to implement: - token based authentication - JWT support - stream support - websocket support - maybe JSON-RPC support

Any comments/suggestions are most welcomed. Thanks in advance.
