+# react-tools
+
+This package compliments the usage of React. It ships with tools that are often used in conjunction.
+
+## JSX
+
+This package installs a `jsx` executable that can be used to transform JSX into vanilla JS. This is often used as part of a build step. This transform is also exposed as an API.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line
+
+```sh
+jsx input > output
+```
+
+### API
+
+```js
+var reactTools = require('react-tools');
+
+reactTools.transform(string, options);
+```
