+# ZAYE Ain't a Yaml Emitter
+
+zaye is a very simple libyaml-based YAML parser for zig. In the spirit of describing
+things by defining what they aren't, it is not capable of emitting YAML. If that
+changes in the future, then this will have been a poor naming choice.
+
+## Status
+
+A single YAML document can be parsed one-shot into a nested tagged-union structure in
+zig. No automatic type conversion happens, all scalars left as strings. Most advanced
+YAML features are ignored or not supported (e.g. anchors/aliases and tags).
+
+It does what I need it to do.
+
+zig 0.11.0 build system for now.
