wweb

wweb synchronizes Web APIs across the server and browser so you can stop writing environment conscious code and focus on building features. wweb exposes the same interfaces around Web APIs location.search -> wweb.search, localStorage -> wweb.localStorage, and document.cookie -> wweb.cookie so you can use them like they were key value stores. wweb assumes that your browser or your users' browsers have web APIs. Finally, wweb supports node all the way back to 6.4.0.
