+# Terrace Rust
+
+A Rust implementation of the Terrace language specification - a simple structured data syntax for configuration, content authoring, and DSLs.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+terrace = "0.1"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Parsing
+
+```rust
+use terrace::{TerraceDocument, StringReader};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() {
+    let content = r#"
+config
+ database
+  host localhost
+  port 5432
+ server
+  port 3000
+  host 0.0.0.0
+"#;
+
+    let reader = StringReader::new(content);
+    let mut doc = TerraceDocument::with_reader(reader);
+
+    while let Some(node) = doc.next().await {
+        println!("Level: {}, Head: '{}', Tail: '{}'",
+                 node.level(), node.head(), node.tail());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Working with Nodes
+
+```rust
+use terrace::{TerraceDocument, StringReader};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() {
+    let content = "user john_doe active";
+    let reader = StringReader::new(content);
+    let mut doc = TerraceDocument::with_reader(reader);
+
+    if let Some(node) = doc.next().await {
+        assert_eq!(node.head(), "user");
+        assert_eq!(node.tail(), "john_doe active");
+        assert_eq!(node.level(), 0);
+        assert!(node.is("user"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Filtering and Mapping
+
+```rust
+use terrace::{TerraceDocument, StringReader};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() {
+    let content = r#"
+users
+ user alice active
+ user bob inactive
+ user charlie active
+"#;
+
+    let reader = StringReader::new(content);
+    let doc = TerraceDocument::with_reader(reader);
+
+    // Find all active users
+    let active_users = doc.filter(|node| {
+        node.head() == "user" && node.tail().contains("active")
+    }).await;
+
+    println!("Found {} active users", active_users.len());
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### TerraceDocument
+
+The main document iterator that parses Terrace documents.
+
+- `new(reader, indent)` - Create a new document with custom indentation
+- `with_reader(reader)` - Create a new document with default space indentation
+- `next()` - Get the next node asynchronously
+- `collect()` - Collect all nodes into a vector
+- `filter(predicate)` - Filter nodes based on a predicate
+- `find(predicate)` - Find the first node matching a predicate
+- `map(mapper)` - Transform nodes using a mapper function
+
+### TerraceNode
+
+Represents a single line/node in a Terrace document.
+
+- `head()` - Get the first word of the line
+- `tail()` - Get everything after the first space
+- `content()` - Get the content after indentation
+- `level()` - Get the indentation level
+- `line_number()` - Get the line number
+- `is(value)` - Check if head matches a value
+- `is_empty()` - Check if the line is empty
+- `raw(offset)` - Get raw content from an offset
+
+### Readers
+
+- `StringReader` - Read from a string or vector of strings
+- `AsyncReader` - Read from any async source
+
+## Features
+
+- **Async/Await Support**: Built with Tokio for asynchronous processing
+- **Streaming**: Process large documents without loading everything into memory
+- **Flexible Input**: Support for strings, files, and custom readers
+- **Type Safe**: Full type safety with Rust's type system
+- **Zero-Copy**: Efficient parsing with minimal allocations

+Heading 2 Core API
+  class mt-12

+  **Note:** The Core API provides low-level parsing functionality optimized for performance

+
+  For most projects you'll want to use the [Document API](#document-api) instead.
+  It provides an ergonomic wrapper around the Core API and lets you focus on parsing
+  your documents without worrying about low-level details.

+Heading 2 Reader API
+  class mt-12
+Markdown
+  The [Document API](#document-api) requires `Reader` implementations to iterate through lines
+  in a document. A reader is any type that implements the `Reader` trait, which provides
+  an async method to read the next line from a source.
+
+  Terrace provides built-in readers for common use cases, but you can implement the trait
+  for your own custom sources.
+
+Heading 3 Reader Trait
+  class mb-4 mt-12
+Markdown
+  The Reader trait defines the interface for reading lines from a document source.
+  Implement this trait to create custom readers for different input sources.
+
+CodeBlock rust
+  // Trait Definition
+  #[async_trait::async_trait]
+  pub trait Reader {
+      /// Read the next line from the source.
+      /// Returns None if there are no more lines.
+      async fn read_line(&mut self) -> io::Result<Option<String>>;
+  }
+
+Heading 3 StringReader
+  class mb-4 mt-12
+Markdown
+  | Parameter      | Type                  | Description
+  | -------------- | --------------------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+  | source         | impl Into<StringReaderSource> | The source content as a string or vector of strings.
+  | **@returns**   | [StringReader](#string-reader) | A reader that iterates over the lines in the source.
+
+  A reader that reads from a string or vector of strings. This is the most common reader
+  for parsing Terrace documents from memory.
+
+CodeBlock rust
+  // Struct Definition
+  pub struct StringReader {
+      // Implementation details...
+  }
+
+  // Constructor
+  pub fn new(source: impl Into<StringReaderSource>) -> Self
+
+  // Import Path
+  use terrace::readers::StringReader;
+
+  // Usage
+  // From a string
+  let reader = StringReader::new("line1\nline2\nline3");
+
+  // From a vector of strings
+  let reader = StringReader::new(vec!["line1", "line2", "line3"]);
+

+  | Parameter      | Type                  | Description
+  | -------------- | --------------------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+  | reader         | R                     | Any async reader that implements AsyncRead.
+  | **@returns**   | [AsyncReader](#async-reader)<R> | A reader that reads lines from an async source.
+
+  A reader that reads from any async source that implements the `AsyncRead` trait.
+  This is useful for reading from files, network streams, or other async sources.
+
+CodeBlock rust
+  // Struct Definition
+  pub struct AsyncReader<R> {
+      // Implementation details...
+  }
+

+
+  // Can also be used with other async sources

+  let buffered = BufReader::new(file);
+  let reader = AsyncReader::new(buffered);
+
+Heading 3 Custom Reader Implementation
+  class mb-4 mt-12
+Markdown
+  You can implement the Reader trait for your own custom sources. This allows you
+  to read from databases, APIs, or any other source of line-based data.
+
+CodeBlock rust
+  // Custom Reader Example
+  use async_trait::async_trait;
+  use std::io;
+  use terrace::readers::Reader;
+
+  struct DatabaseReader {
+      connection: DatabaseConnection,
+      query: String,
+      current_row: usize,
+  }
+
+  #[async_trait]
+  impl Reader for DatabaseReader {
+      async fn read_line(&mut self) -> io::Result<Option<String>> {
+          // Fetch next row from database
+          match self.connection.fetch_row(&self.query, self.current_row).await {
+              Ok(Some(row)) => {
+                  self.current_row += 1;
+                  Ok(Some(format!("{} {}", row.key, row.value)))
+              }
+              Ok(None) => Ok(None),
+              Err(e) => Err(io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, e)),
+          }
+      }
+  }
+
+  // Usage
+  let db_reader = DatabaseReader {
+      connection: connect_to_db().await?,
+      query: "SELECT key, value FROM config".to_string(),
+      current_row: 0,
+  };
+
+  let mut doc = TerraceDocument::with_reader(db_reader);
+  while let Some(node) = doc.next().await {
+      println!("{}: {}", node.head(), node.tail());
+  }
+
+Heading 3 Reader Trait Implementation Details
+  class mb-4 mt-12
+Markdown
+  When implementing the Reader trait, follow these guidelines:
+
+  - Return `Ok(Some(line))` for each line of content
+  - Return `Ok(None)` when there are no more lines
+  - Return `Err(error)` if an I/O error occurs
+  - Lines should not include trailing newlines
+  - The reader should be mutable to track state between calls
+
+CodeBlock rust
+  // Complete Reader Implementation Example
+  use async_trait::async_trait;
+  use std::io;
+  use terrace::readers::Reader;
+
+  struct VecReader {
+      lines: Vec<String>,
+      index: usize,
+  }
+
+  impl VecReader {
+      fn new(lines: Vec<String>) -> Self {
+          Self { lines, index: 0 }
+      }
+  }
+
+  #[async_trait]
+  impl Reader for VecReader {
+      async fn read_line(&mut self) -> io::Result<Option<String>> {
+          if self.index >= self.lines.len() {
+              return Ok(None);
+          }
+
+          let line = self.lines[self.index].clone();
+          self.index += 1;
+          Ok(Some(line))
+      }
+  }
