 ### SAS Logon
-All authentication from the adapter is done against SASLogon.  There are two approaches that can be taken, which are configured using the `loginMechanism` attribute of the sasJs config object (above):
 
-* `loginMechanism:'Redirected'` - this approach enables authentication through a SASLogon window, supporting complex authentication flows (such as 2FA) and avoids the need to handle passwords in the application itself.  The styling of the window can be modified using CSS.
-* `loginMechanism:'Default'` - this approach requires that the username and password are captured, and used within the `.login()` method.  This can be helpful for development, or automated testing.

-###  Request / Response
+### Request / Response
+
 A simple request can be sent to SAS in the following fashion:
 
 ```javascript
-sasJs.request("/path/to/my/service", dataObject)
-  .then((response) => {
-    // all tables are in the response object, eg:
-    console.log(response.tablewith2cols1row[0].COL1.value)
-  })
+sasJs.request('/path/to/my/service', dataObject).then((response) => {
+  // all tables are in the response object, eg:
+  console.log(response.tablewith2cols1row[0].COL1.value)
+})
 ```
 
 We supply the path to the SAS service, and a data object.
 
-If the path starts with a `/` then it should be a full path to the service.  If there is no leading `/` then it is relative to the `appLoc`.

 The data object can be null (for services with no input), or can contain one or more "tables" in the following format:
 
 ```javascript
-let dataObject={
-	"tablewith2cols1row": [{
-		"col1": "val1",
-		"col2": 42
-	}],
-	"tablewith1col2rows": [{
-		"col": "row1"
-	}, {
-		"col": "row2"
-	}]
-};
+let dataObject = {

-* `appLoc` - this is the folder (eg in metadata or SAS Drive) under which the SAS services are created.
-* `serverType` - either `SAS9`, `SASVIYA` or `SASJS`.  The `SASJS` server type is for use with [sasjs/server](https://github.com/sasjs/server).
-* `serverUrl` - the location (including http protocol and port) of the SAS Server. Can be omitted, eg if serving directly from the SAS Web Server, or in streaming mode.
-* `debug` - if `true` then SAS Logs and extra debug information is returned.
-* `verbose` - optional, if `true` then a summary of every HTTP response is logged.
-* `loginMechanism` - either `Default` or `Redirected`.  See [SAS Logon](#sas-logon) section.
-* `useComputeApi` - Only relevant when the serverType is `SASVIYA`. If `true` the [Compute API](#using-the-compute-api) is used.  If `false` the [JES API](#using-the-jes-api) is used.  If `null` or `undefined` the [Web](#using-jes-web-app) approach is used.
-* `contextName` - Compute context on which the requests will be called.  If missing or not provided, defaults to `Job Execution Compute context`.
-* `requestHistoryLimit` - Request history limit. Increasing this limit may affect browser performance, especially with debug (logs) enabled.  Default is 10.

 ### Using the JES API
-Here we are running Jobs using the Job Execution Service except this time we are making the requests directly using the REST API instead of through the JES Web App.  This is helpful when we need to call web services outside of a browser (eg with the SASjs CLI or other commandline tools).  To save one network request, the adapter prefetches the JOB URIs and passes them in the `__job` parameter.  Depending on your network bandwidth, it may or may not be faster than the JES Web approach.

 ### Using the Compute API
-This approach is by far the fastest, as a result of the optimisations we have built into the adapter.  With this configuration, in the first sasjs request, we take a URI map of the services in the target folder, and create a session manager.  This manager will spawn a additional session every time a request is made. Subsequent requests will use the existing 'hot' session, if it exists.  Sessions are always deleted after every use, which actually makes this _less_ resource intensive than a typical JES web app, in which all sessions are kept alive by default for 15 minutes.
