note: 'Zype''s client-side surface is embed-oriented rather than a JavaScript element library: the player and the
  playlist carousel are retrieved as rendered embeds from player.zype.com, and the app-builder output is a whole
  packaged application rather than a component. There is no npm-distributed web-component or React element library
  — see packages/zype-packages.yml.'

  note: 'The JSON form is the interesting one for an agent or a custom app: it returns the DRM key-system objects
    and the m3u8 references directly rather than an opaque iframe.'
