[keycloak-user] Initializing keycloak.js without extra request for keycloak.json?

[Michael Clayton]

Thanks, that helps.  I'm happy to go with that approach, but it would
help me if I understood why most of the values in keycloak.json are not
needed by keycloak.js.

Are "token-store", "public-client" etc totally ignored by keycloak.js?
A quick grep suggests that they are ignored.
