+
+# Overview
+
+`once_cell` provides two new cell-like types, `unsync::OnceCell` and `sync::OnceCell`. `OnceCell`
+might store arbitrary non-`Copy` types, can be assigned to at most once and provide direct access
+to the stored contents. In a nutshell, API looks *roughly* like this:
+
+```rust
+impl OnceCell<T> {
+    fn new() -> OnceCell<T> { ... }
+    fn set(&self, value: T) -> Result<(), T> { ... }
+    fn get(&self) -> Option<&T> { ... }
+}
+```
+
+Note that, like with `RefCell` and `Mutex`, the `set` method requires only a shared reference.
+Because of the single assignment restriction `get` can return an `&T` instead of `Ref<T>`
+or `MutexGuard<T>`.
+
+`once_cell` also has a `Lazy<T>` type, build on top of `OnceCell` which provides the same API as
+the `lazy_static!` macro, but without using any macros:
+
+```rust
+use std::{sync::Mutex, collections::HashMap};
+use once_cell::sync::Lazy;
+
+static GLOBAL_DATA: Lazy<Mutex<HashMap<i32, String>>> = Lazy::new(|| {
+    let mut m = HashMap::new();
+    m.insert(13, "Spica".to_string());
+    m.insert(74, "Hoyten".to_string());
+    Mutex::new(m)
+});
+
+fn main() {
+    println!("{:?}", GLOBAL_DATA.lock().unwrap());
+}
+```
+
+More patterns and use-cases are in the [docs](https://docs.rs/once_cell/)!
