rc

rc standands for "REST client". It is a golang package implementing a simple wrapper around Go's standard http/https packages targetting simple interactions with REST API such as https://orcid.org. It was created to unify the REST interaction across multiple harvesting tools developed at Caltech Library in the Go lanuage.
