title: Connect to / query rethinkdb from javascript without node.js
body: <p>I'm trying to create a simple in-browser web app to display the contents on a given rethink table with some nice formatting. I'm having trouble finding a way to actually connect to rethink without having to use node.js. All I want to do is get the data out and then run it through some styling/layout stuff. Node + dependencies are overkill for a tiny browser-only app.</p>
