## Installation

```shell
npm i --save cookie-lite
```

## Parsing cookie strings

```javascript
const cookieLite = require('cookie-lite')

cookieLite.parse('foo=bar; copyright=%C2%A9;another=test') // {foo: 'bar', copyright: '©', another: 'test'}
```

## Serializing objects to cookie strings

```javascript
cookieLite.serialize({
	name: 'Choco',
	'HttpOnly': null
}) // 'name=Choco;HttpOnly'
```

## Why cookie-lite?

cookie-lite is super lightweight. It's over much more lightweight than cookie, another popular cookie package. cookie-lite is the way to go for efficiency as it parses using JS regular expressions!
