+- Supports nested sections, strict/lenient modes, and all major data types.
+- A perfect alternative to messy JSON, legacy INI, or complex YAML.
+- Built for both JavaScript and TypeScript.
+- Human-friendly, machine-friendly, and ready for modern projects.

 ## ✨ Features
 - Simple syntax (supports both strict and lenient modes).
 - Familiar config file style (inspired by INI, YAML, TOML).

 ## Usage
 
-> Only import the main class:
->
-> ```ts
-> import YINI from 'yini-parser';
-> ```
+### Node.js (CommonJS)
+**Note:** Only a default export (YINI) is provided. Named imports are not supported.
