This project is a fork of the kemia project, which is a reaction editor written in javascript and compiled using the google closure compiler.

The google closure library was used in kemia and some parts of it had been included as utils modules.

Webpack is used to bundle a umd js file for web and node usage.

npmcdn is used to distribute the library for web usage.
