+# Summary
+This is a base64 encoder/decoder in zig. The default alphabet is the rfc4648 base64
+specification, but custom alphabets may be used. The library is designed to highly
+efficient and very fast. Assumong a supported platform encoding and decoding
+operations will take advantage of SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) processor
+intrinsics to work on multiple bytes of data in parallel, while only using a single
+processor.
+
+## Supported Zig version
+Currently this library is designed and tested with Zig version 0.12.0.
