Contentful Js SDK about contentful-response-parser

For reference I used the following files for the size comparison:

@danhayden this is a great initiative!
@Khaledgarbaya maybe you guys can pick this up and make an official lightweight solution. Your SDK has a heavy impact on the size of the project, and might say that your data structure it's not the most friendly one when comes of working with nested data structures.

Hi @Khaledgarbaya

My main motivation was to have a minimal yet versatile library that I could use on several projects with very configurations and pre-existing dependencies.

I decided not to include a HTTP client as many projects already have one included or developers have a preferred one that they like to use. I also wanted to avoid having dependencies to keep the file size down to decrease download time and parse time.

Also many of the features of Contentful's javascript SDKs I currently do not need. This results in this library weighing only 903B and fulfilling the use case I have compared to Contentful's javascript SDKs 27.6KB.

Thanks,
Dan
