+JSON Over HTTP Client Go Library
+
+Jttp is a Go library that encapsulates the boilerplate of making a
+HTTP request, checking the response status, and decoding the JSON in
+the response body.
+
+The name jttp stands for JSON Text Transfer Protocol. It is a play on
+HTTP, the HyerText Transfer Protocol. Although HTTP is often used to
+transport JSON, JSON itself is not hypertext.
