Methods

resolve(doi||dois, options, callback)

Return doi metadata from dois with options.
The callback is called with a potential error and a result object (see example above).
doi could be a string (one doi) and result is an object
or
dois could be an array (many dois) and result is an array of objects.

You can use options { extended: true } to obtain license informations about the doi object
