## README

# path-loader

Utility that provides a single API for loading the content of a path/URL.  This module works in the browser and in
io.js/Node.js.  Right now this module supports the following loaders:

* http/https: This loader is used by default in the browser and will also be used in io.js/Node.js if the location being
loaded starts with `http:` or `https:`
* file: This loader is the used by default in io.js/Node.js and will throw an error in the browser _(Due to how
locations are mapped to loaders, the only way to use the `file` loader in the browser is to attempt to load a file using
the URL-version of its location.  (Example: `file:///Users/not-you/projects/path-loader/package.json`))_

In the future, there will likely be a pluggable infrastructure for altering this list or overriding the loaders provided
by the project but for now that is not an option.
