Requirements
---
####media.match.min.js/media.match.js
* Provides core functionality. Does not contain external javascript library or css dependencies.
* Version 1 of this project contained a css dependency that is now solely handled by media.match.js. See branch, "version1" for previous iteration.

Example
---

Both code blocks are valid uses of ``matchMedia()`. The first example shows the caching of a `MediaQueryList` object and the second shows an alternative usage as well as `addListener` support.
The `addListener` method is part of the `MediaQueryList` object, therefore it can be added on the cached version or immediately after `matchMedia()`.
