+# NullObject
+
+Dead simple library to create null objects (objects that respond to all
+messages)
+
+## Usage
+
+Respond to ALL the things:
+
+```ruby
+obj = NullObject.new
+obj.foo # => nil
+obj.bar # => nil
+```
+
+Respond to SOME of the things:
+
+```ruby
+obj = NullObject.new(:foo, :bar)
+obj.foo # => nil
+obj.bar # => nil
+obj.baz # raises NoMethodError
+```
+
+Respond to SOME of the things with CERTAIN return values:
+
+```ruby
+obj = NullObject.new(:foo => :bar)
+obj.foo # => :bar
+obj.baz # raises NoMethodError
+```
+
+Respond to ALL of the things with a CERTAIN return value:
+
+```ruby
+obj = NullObject.new { "foo" }
+obj.foo # => "foo"
+obj.bar # => "foo"
+```
+
+Respond to ALL of the things with `self`:
+
+```ruby
+obj = NullObject.new { obj }
+obj.foo         # => obj
+obj.foo.bar.baz # => obj
+```
+
+## Contributing

+2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)
+3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Added some feature'`)
+4. Push to the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`)
