 """A Boneless Datastructure Language, version 2.0.0.
 
-This is a language for matching mixed-type data-structures simiarly to how you'd match a string with regex.
+ABDL expressions are regex-like constructs for matching and validating object structures. They can be used
+with JSON and similar formats, and even self-referential data structures.
 
-The language has two parts, the Input Langauge and the Output Language.
+Language Reference:
 
-The Input Language:
+    ABDL expressions have the ability to iterate, index, validate and filter data structures. This is
+    done with the use of the syntax elements listed below.
 
-    The input language is used for matching the input and setting up variables. An ABDL expression
-    is made of tokens that can represent variables, literals, commands or parameters. It must start with
-    an arrow, which must be followed by a variable, literal, parameter, regex or key match. Additionally,
-    variables may be followed by a literal, parameter or regex. In turn, those may be followed by one
-    or more type tests.
+    Syntax Elements:
 
-    A variable is a string of alphanumeric characters, not starting with a digit.
+        An ABDL expression is a sequence of zero or more sequences starting with arrows followed by zero or
+        more subvalues.
 
-    A literal is a string delimited by single quotes. (use ``%'`` to escape ``'`` and ``%%`` to escape ``%``)
-    A literal can be made "non-validating" by appending an ``?`` after it.
+        An arrow is ``->`` and indicates indexing/iteration (Mappings, Sequences, Sets). It must be followed
+        by a variable, literal, parameter, regex or key match.
 
-    A regex is a regex delimited by forward slashes. (use ``%/`` to escape ``/`` and ``%%`` to escape ``%``)
-    A regex can be made "non-validating" by appending an ``?`` after it.
+        A variable is a string of alphanumeric characters, not starting with a digit. It may be followed by a
+        literal, parameter, regex, key match, or one or more type tests. A ``(key, value)`` tuple containing
+        the corresponding matched element will be identified by this name in the results dict.
 
-    A parameter is the symbol ``$`` followed by a string of alphanumeric characters, not starting with
-    a digit. A parameter can be made "non-validating" by appending an ``?`` after it.
+        A literal is a string delimited by single quotes (use ``%'`` to escape ``'`` and ``%%`` to escape ``%``).
+        A literal can be made "non-validating" by appending an ``?`` after it. It may be followed by one or more
+        type tests. It is exactly equivalent to indexing an object with a string key.
 
-    An arrow is ``->`` and indicates indexing/iteration (dicts, sets, frozensets, lists, tuples).
+        A parameter is the symbol ``$`` followed by a string of alphanumeric characters, not starting with
+        a digit. A parameter can be made "non-validating" by appending an ``?`` after it. It may be followed by
+        one or more type tests. It is exactly equivalent to indexing an object with an arbitrary object key.
 
-    A type test is ``:`` followed by a parameter. A type test can be made "non-validating" by appending
-    an ``?`` after the ``:``.
+        A regex is an RE, as defined by the ``re`` module, delimited by forward slashes (use ``%/`` to escape
+        ``/`` and ``%%`` to escape ``%``). A regex can be made "non-validating" by appending an ``?`` after it.
+        It may be followed by one or more type tests. It attempts to match each key in the object.
 
-    A key match is an ABDL expression enclosed in ``[`` and ``]``, optionally prefixed with one or more type
-    tests. This matches keys.
+        A type test is ``:`` followed by a parameter. A type test can be made "non-validating" by appending
+        an ``?`` after the ``:``. It attempts to match the type of each matched value in the object.
+
+        A key match is an ABDL expression enclosed in ``[`` and ``]``, optionally prefixed with one or more type
+        tests. This matches keys (including the type tests).
+
+        A subvalue is an ABDL expression enclosed in ``(`` and ``)``. This allows matching multiple values on
+        the same object.
+
+        Some syntax elements can be validating or non-validating. Validating syntax elements will raise a
+        :py:exc:`abdl.ValidationError` whenever a non-matching element is encountered, whereas non-validating
+        ones will skip them. Note that it is possible for a validating syntax element to still yield results
+        before raising a :py:exc:`abdl.ValidationError`, so one needs to be careful when writing code where such
+        behaviour could result in a security vulnerability.
 
     Examples:
-        
+
+        >>> import abdl
         >>> for m in abdl.match("->X:?$dict->Y", {"foo": 1, "bar": {"baz": 2}}, {'dict': dict}):
         ...     print(m['X'][0], m['Y'][0], m['Y'][1])
         bar baz 2
 
+        >>> pat = abdl.compile('''-> 'projects'?
+        ...                          -> commit /[0-9a-fA-F]{40}|[0-9a-fA-F]{64}/? :?$dict
+        ...                             -> url :?$dict
+        ...                                -> branch :?$dict''', {'dict': dict})
+        >>> data = {"projects": {
+        ...     "385e734a52e13949a7a5c71827f6de920dbfea43": {
+        ...         "https://soniex2.autistic.space/git-repos/ganarchy.git": {"HEAD": {"active": True}}
+        ...     }
+        ... }}
+        >>> for m in pat.match(data):
+        ...     print(m['commit'][0], m['url'][0], m['branch'][0], m['branch'][1])
+        385e734a52e13949a7a5c71827f6de920dbfea43 https://soniex2.autistic.space/git-repos/ganarchy.git HEAD {'active': True}
+
     (If ``:?$dict`` wasn't present, a TypeError would be raised when trying to iterate the ``1`` from ``"foo": 1``.)

-#"""
-#The Output Language [NYI]:
-#
-#    The output language is used for transforming the input data into something potentially more useful.
-#    Its tokens represent variables or commands.
-#
-#    A variable must be bound on the pattern before being used on the transformer.
-#
-#    The following commands are accepted:
-#        * ``!`` - indicates that the *key* corresponding to the variable shall be used, not the value.
-#
-#    An output expression always looks like a tuple. That is, it starts with ``(`` and ends with ``)``,
-#    and contains comma-separated values. At least one comma is required, and a trailing comma should
-#    always be used.
-#
-#    Example [NYI]:
-#
-#        >>> for m in abdl.transform("'projects'->?j2/[0-9a-fA-F]{40}|[0-9a-fA-F]{64}/->?j3->?j4", "(j2!,j3!,j4!,j4)", {"projects": {"385e734a52e13949a7a5c71827f6de920dbfea43": {"https://soniex2.autistic.space/git-repos/ganarchy.git": {"HEAD": {"active": True}}}}}):
-#        ...     print(m)
-#        ('385e734a52e13949a7a5c71827f6de920dbfea43', 'https://soniex2.autistic.space/git-repos/ganarchy.git', 'HEAD', {'active': True})
