+## RON extensions
+
+RON has extensions that can be enabled by adding the following attribute at the top of your RON document:
+
+`#![enable(...)]`
+
+# unwrap_newtypes
+
+You can add this extension by adding the following attribute at the top of your RON document:
+
+`#![enable(unwrap_newtypes)]`
+
+This feature enables RON to automatically unwrap simple tuples.
+
+```rust
+struct NewType(u32);
+struct Object {
+ pub new_type: NewType,
+}
+```
+
+Without `unwrap_newtypes`, because the value `5` can not be saved into `NewType(u32)`, your RON document would look like this:
+
+``` ron
+(
+ new_type: (5),
+)
+```
+
+With the `unwrap_newtypes` extension, this coercion is done automatically. So `5` will be interpreted as `(5)`.
+
+``` ron
+#![enable(unwrap_newtypes)]
+(
+ new_type: 5,
+)
+```
+
+# implicit_some
+
+You can add this extension by adding the following attribute at the top of your RON document:
+
+`#![enable(implicit_some)]`
+
+This feature enables RON to automatically convert any value to `Some(value)` if the deserialized type requires it.
+
+```rust
+struct Object {
+ pub value: Option<u32>,
+}
+```
+
+Without this feature, you would have to write this RON document.
+
+```ron
+(
+ value: Some(5),
+)
+```
+
+Enabling the feature would automatically infer `Some(x)` if `x` is given. In this case, RON automatically casts this `5` into a `Some(5)`.
+
+```ron
+(
+ value: 5,
+)
+```
+
+With this extension enabled, explicitly given `None` and `Some(..)` will be matched eagerly on `Option<Option<Option<u32>>>`, i.e.
+* `5` -> `Some(Some(Some(5)))`
+* `None` -> `None`
+* `Some(5)` -> `Some(Some(Some(5)))`
+* `Some(None)` -> `Some(None)`
+* `Some(Some(5))` -> `Some(Some(Some(5)))`
+* `Some(Some(None))` -> `Some(Some(None))`
+* `Some(Some(Some(5)))` -> `Some(Some(Some(5)))`
+
+# unwrap_variant_newtypes
+
+You can add this extension by adding the following attribute at the top of your RON document:
+
+`#![enable(unwrap_variant_newtypes)]`
+
+This feature enables RON to automatically unwrap newtype enum variants.
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Deserialize)]
+struct Inner {
+ pub a: u8,
+ pub b: bool,
+}
+#[derive(Deserialize)]
+pub enum Enum {
+ A(Inner),
+ B,
+}
+```
+
+Without `unwrap_variant_newtypes`, your RON document would look like this:
+
+``` ron
+(
+ variant: A(Inner(a: 4, b: true)),
+)
+```
+
+With the `unwrap_variant_newtypes` extension, the first structural layer inside a newtype variant will be unwrapped automatically:
+
+``` ron
+#![enable(unwrap_newtypes)]
+(
+ variant: A(a: 4, b: true),
+)
+```
+
+Note that when the `unwrap_variant_newtypes` extension is enabled, the first layer inside a newtype variant will **always** be unwrapped, i.e. it is no longer possible to write `A(Inner(a: 4, b: true))` or `A((a: 4, b: true))`.
