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.
