+**Spyc** is a YAML loader/dumper written in pure PHP. Given a YAML document, Spyc will return an array that
+you can use however you see fit. Given an array, Spyc will return a string which contains a YAML document
+built from your data.
+
+**YAML** is an amazingly human friendly and strikingly versatile data serialization language which can be used
+for log files, config files, custom protocols, the works. For more information, see http://www.yaml.org.
+
+Spyc supports YAML 1.0 specification.
+
+## Using Spyc
+
+Using Spyc is trivial:
+
+```
+<?php
+require_once "spyc.php";
+$Data = Spyc::YAMLLoad('spyc.yaml');
+```
+
+or (if you prefer functional syntax)
+
+```
+<?php
+require_once "spyc.php";
+$Data = spyc_load_file('spyc.yaml');
+```
+
