Minimal Firebase

The current firebase.js download is 210k. Minified it's down to 132k. And add in gzip compression to get it to 44k.

Firebase has a ton of features, but many times you don't need all of them. This project aims to be a minimal, not full-featured implementation of the Javascript SDK through use of the REST API.

At its core, The main goal is to have a quick way to simply load and query data from your firebase.

Comparing to the sizes above, it is currently 5.7k, 2.8k, and 1.4k.
