+# postcard
+
+A Go parser for [Postcard](https://github.com/jamesmunns/postcard) binary [wire format](https://postcard.jamesmunns.com/wire-format).
+
+Follows the same design principles as [jsony](https://github.com/orsinium-labs/jsony), which allows for fast, type-safe, and reflection-free deserialization.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/orsinium-labs/postcard
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```go
+type User struct {
+    name string
+    age  uint16
+}
+
+var user User
+parse := postcard.Struct(
+    postcard.Str(&user.name),
+    postcard.U16(&user.age),
+)
+
+reader := bytes.NewReader([]byte("\x07Aragorn\x52"))
+err := parse(reader)
+
+fmt.Println(err)       // nil
+fmt.Println(user.name) // "Aragorn"
+fmt.Println(user.age)  // 82
+```
