+# Cross USB
+
+An attempt at a USB library which works seamlessly across native and WASM targets.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+For native USB, the crate utilizies [nusb](https://github.com/kevinmehall/nusb), a pure rust library similar to the very popular libusb.
+
+For WASM, this crate utilizes [web-sys](https://crates.io/crates/web-sys) which gives access to browser API calls, and in this case is used to interact with [WebUSB](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebUSB_API)
