+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

+# YINI Parser - TypeScript
+
+**YINI Parser for TypeScript** — a simple, human-friendly parser and reader for the YINI configuration file format. This library implements the official YINI specification using TypeScript + ANTLR4.
+
+YINI is a configuration file format (see [spec] for details):
+https://github.com/YINI-lang/YINI-spec
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Features
+- Simple, strict parsing.
+- Familiar config file style (inspired by INI, YAML, TOML).
+- Easy programmatic usage.
+- Only the `YINI` class is exported; all internal details are private.
+
+### Limitations
+Not all features of the full YINI specification are implemented yet.
+
+See [FEATURE-CHECKLIST.md](./FEATURE-CHECKLIST.md) for the current list of implemented YINI features.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Installation
+
+With **npm**:
+```sh
+npm install yini-parser
+```
+
+With **yarn**:
+```sh
+yarn add yini-parser
+```
+
+With **pnpm**:
+```sh
+pnpm add yini-parser
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+> Only import the main class:
+>
+> ```ts
+> import YINI from 'yini-parser';
+> ```
+
+### Example:
+```ts
+import YINI from 'yini-parser';
+
+// Parse from string.
+const config = YINI.parse(`
+^ Database
+host = localhost
+port = 5432
+`);
+
+// Parse from file.
+const configFromFile = YINI.parseFile('./config.yini');
+```
+
+---
+
+## API
+
+Only the `YINI` class is exposed in the public API, with two static methods: `parse` and `parseFile`.
+
+### `YINI.parse(yiniContent: string, strictMode?: boolean, bailSensitivity: 'auto' | 0 | 1 | 2 = "auto", includeMetaData = false): object`
+
+Parses YINI code from a string.  
+
+**Params:**
+- `yiniContent`: The YINI configuration as a string.
+- `strictMode`: (optional, default `false`) Parse in strict mode.
+- `bailSensitivity`: (optional, default `"auto"`) Error tolerance level.
+  * If `bailSensitivity` is `"auto"` then bail sensitivity level will be set to 0 if in non-strict mode, if in strict mode then level 1 will be used automatically.
+- `includeMetaData`: If true then additional meta data will be returned along the object.
+
+**Bail sensitivity levels:**
+- 0 = 'Ignore-Errors' // Don't bail on errors, persist and try to recover.
+- 1 = 'Abort-on-Errors'
+- 2 = 'Abort-Even-on-Warnings'
+
+Returns a JavaScript object representing the parsed configuration (YINI content).
+
+### `YINI.parseFile(yiniContent: string, strictMode?: boolean, bailSensitivity: 'auto' | 0 | 1 | 2 = "auto", includeMetaData = false): object`
+
+Parses YINI code from a file.
+- `filePath`: Path to the `.yini` file.
+- Other parameters are the same as `parse(..)`.
+
+Returns a JavaScript object representing the parsed YINI configuration file.
+
+---
+
+## Example Output
+--TODO--
+
+---
+
+## 📚 Documentation
+- [Development Setup](./docs/Development%20Setup.md) — How to run, test, and build the project, etc.
+- [Conventions](./docs/Conventions.md) — Project conventions, naming patterns, etc.
