+
+RON is a simple readable data serialization format that looks similar to Rust syntax.
+It's designed to support all of [Serde's data model](https://serde.rs/data-model.html), so
+structs, enums, tuples, arrays, generic maps, and primitive values.
+
+## Example
+
+```rust,ignore
+GameConfig( // optional struct name
+    window_size: (800, 600),
+    window_title: "PAC-MAN",
+    fullscreen: false,
+    
+    mouse_sensitivity: 1.4,
+    key_bindings: {
+        "up": Up,
+        "down": Down,
+        "left": Left,
+        "right": Right,
+        
+        // Uncomment to enable WASD controls
+        /*
+        "W": Up,
+        "A": Down,
+        "S": Left,
+        "D": Right,
+        */
+    },
+    
+    difficulty_options: (
+        start_difficulty: Easy,
+        adaptive: false,
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+## Why RON?
+
+### Example in JSON
+
+```json
+{
+   "materials": {
+        "metal": {
+            "reflectivity": 1.0
+        },
+        "plastic": {
+            "reflectivity": 0.5
+        }
+   },
+   "entities": [
+        {
+            "name": "hero",
+            "material": "metal"
+        },
+        {
+            "name": "monster",
+            "material": "plastic"
+        }
+   ]
+}
+```
+
+### Same example in RON
+
+```rust,ignore
+Scene( // class name is optional
+    materials: { // this is a map
+        "metal": (
+            reflectivity: 1.0,
+        ),
+        "plastic": (
+            reflectivity: 0.5,
+        ),
+    },
+    entities: [ // this is an array
+        (
+            name: "hero",
+            material: "metal",
+        ),
+        (
+            name: "monster",
+            material: "plastic",
+        ),
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+Note the following advantages of RON over JSON:
+
+* trailing commas allowed
+* single- and multi-line comments
+* field names aren't quoted, so it's less verbose
+* optional struct names improve readability
+* enums are supported (and less verbose than their JSON representation)
+
+## RON syntax overview
+
+* Numbers: `42`, `3.14`, `0xFF`, `0b0110`
+* Strings: `"Hello"`, `"with\\escapes\n"`, `r#"raw string, great for regex\."#`
+* Booleans: `true`, `false`
+* Chars: `'e'`, `'\n'`
+* Optionals: `Some("string")`, `Some(Some(1.34))`, `None`
+* Tuples: `("abc", 1.23, true)`, `()`
+* Lists: `["abc", "def"]`
+* Structs: `( foo: 1.0, bar: ( baz: "I'm nested" ) )`
+* Maps: `{ "arbitrary": "keys", "are": "allowed" }`
+
+> **Note:** Serde's data model represents fixed-size Rust arrays as tuple (instead of as list)
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### `Cargo.toml`
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+ron = "0.8"
+serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
+```
+
+### `main.rs`
+
+```rust
+use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
+
+#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]
+struct MyStruct {
+    boolean: bool,
+    float: f32,
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let x: MyStruct = ron::from_str("(boolean: true, float: 1.23)").unwrap();
+    
+    println!("RON: {}", ron::to_string(&x).unwrap());
+}
+```
