+# Noodle C99 Parser
+![CMake Workflow](https://github.com/cadenmiller/noodlec/actions/workflows/cmake-single-platform.yml/badge.svg)
+
+Welcome to the Noodle C99 Parser project! This repository contains a C99 parser designed for the Noodle data language. Noodle is a lightweight language for data representation. This parser lets you seamlessly integrate Noodle data structures into C applications.
+
+## Features
+
+- Parse Noodle data files into C99 data structures.
+- Intuitive API for navigating and manipulating parsed Noodle data.
+- Lightweight and minimal dependencies.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/cadenmiller/noodlec.git`
+2. Navigate to the project directory: `cd noodlec`
+3. Build the parser library using CMake.
+4. Link with your C project.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Include `"noodle.h"` in your code.
+2. Initialize by creating a root `Noodle_t` using noodleParse().
+4. Work with the parsed data using the functions noodleFrom() and noodleAt().
+5. Free resources with `noodleFree()`.
+
+## Example
+
+```c
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include "noodle.h"
+
+int main() {
+    NoodleGroup_t* settings = noodleParseFromFile("settings.noodle");
+    if (!parser) return EXIT_FAILURE;
+
+    bool valid = false;
+    float volume = noodleFloatFrom(settings, "volume", &valid);
+    int vulkanDeviceId = noodleIntFrom(settings, "vulkanDeviceId", &valid);  
+
+    if (!valid) return EXIT_FAILURE;
+
+    // And it's just that easy, use the parsed data here!
+    // ...
+
+    noodleFree(settings);
+    return 0;
+}
+```
