Core Cloud libraries

• The Unison Cloud client is the library used for interacting with Unison Cloud. It's extensively documented and has a nice README. Some notable types you might use:
  • The Config ability for secrets and config.
  • The State ability for durable storage.
  • The Log ability for logging.
  • The Remote ability is the core ability for distributed programming, it's based on a model of forking tasks (possibly at other locations) and awaiting their results.

• The @unison/json library for JSON encoding and decoding.
• The @unison/xml library for XML and HTML parsing (see "Soup").
