Pardon my ignorance, but what does "batteries included" mean in this context?

[screeny05 → rhapsodic]

It's a hint on corrodes built-in functionality and extensibility. It not only provides a way of parsing, but also a way of validating the parsed data via asserts.

Well, OK, but it was completely lost on me. One thing that did occur to me is that using the words "corrode" and "batteries" together might not evoke positive feelings in the mind of potential users.

Congrats for your code.

I found it really well documented and structure. I'll probably print it to read it later.

I really love the documentation badge. It should be more common.

Thank you. I was afraid the documentation wouldn't be sufficient. Yet improving it is highest priority for me.

Side note: Are you familiar with Sweetscape's 010 Editor? Very cool stuff, although closed source.

Has been fixed. Thanks for the hint.

Why using it:

"As a js-library from 2016 it has all the swag you need." ... Oh well
