+
+Dead simple [DID][spec]s (Decentralized Identifiers).
+
+This crate provides the ability to:
+* Parse did urls.
+* (optional feature) Perform cryptographic operations on the public keys
+  resolved from DIDs.
+
+We intentionally do not perform IO, such as what would be required to resolve a
+did:web. It is *your* responsibility to do IO, and then use this crate to
+validate that data and get back something that you can do cryptographic operations
+with. This ensures that this crate stays small, and that did-simple can be used
+with any backend or client and in both sync and async paradigms.
+
+Supported DID methods:
+* did:key
+* (coming soon) did:web
+
+# Security
+
+This crate enforces `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` unless the `allow-unsafe` feature
+is enabled. Since features in rust are additive across a dependency graph, don't
+enable this feature unless you are writing an application!
+
+This crate has a very high bar for the addition of new dependencies, because
+dependencies are places where the software supply chain can be attacked. Right now,
+we have zero non-rust dependencies, and passing `no-default-features` gives you
+dependencies on only the following crates:
+
+* thiserror (proc macro)
+* bytes (no transitive deps)
+* bs58 (no transitive deps)
+
+We also test effectively every possible bit pattern when encoding and decoding
+varints, a necessary part of did:key resolution.
+
+# Breaking Changes
+
+This crate is v0.0.X, and may introduce breaking changes at any time, with any
+frequency.
