INTENDED USE: The Logic and Code contained within forms a Developer Tool and is intended to operate as part of a Web Software Development Toolchain on which a Production System operates indirectly. It is NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN HIGH-LOAD ENVIRONMENTS as there is little focus on Runtime Optimization in order to maximize API Utility, Compatibility and Flexibility.

If you need more than what is contained within, study the Code, understand the Logic, and build your Own Implementation that is API Compatible. Share it with others who follow the same Logic and API Contract specified within. This Community of Users may want to use Your Work in their own Software Development Toolchains.
