Even Swaps - A Rational Way to Choose a Library

This article is based on a Harvard Business Review publication called “Even Swaps” from authors John S. Hammond, Ralph L. Keeney and Howard Raiffa published on 1998. The method is most useful when a clear alternative is not clear and there are several options to choose from. We’ll be creating a matrix of library vs dimension to evaluate our decision to choose a library. We'll assign numbers to dimensions which are qualitative: good UX (easy to use) (1-5, 5 is best) Good documentation, good defaults, good documentation for the library and that the project is still maintained.
