+node-nbt
+=============
+
+[nodejs](http://nodejs.org) library for reading and writing NBT files
+
+How to use
+---------
+Here is a simple example how you can read a gzipped NBT file into a Javascript object.
+
+    var NbtReader = require('./nbt').NbtReader;
+
+    var fs = require('fs');
+    fs.readFile('a_nbt_file.dat', function(err, data) {
+      zlib.gunzip(data, function(err, buffer) {
+        if (!err) {
+          var d = NbtReader.readTag(buffer);
+          d = NbtReader.removeBufferKey(d);
+        } else {
+          console.log(err);
+        }
+      });
+    });
+
+If you want to print that Javascript object to the console you can use the `NbtReader.printAscii(d);` function.
+
+TODO: More examples on how to write NBT files with `NbtWriter`.
+
+
+
+Tests
+-----
+In the `test` folder there are some unit tests that can be run with [nodeunit](https://github.com/caolan/nodeunit).
