+**Datatype and parser for the Universal Configuration Language (UCL) using libucl**
+
+The Universal Configuration Language (UCL) is a configuration language
+inspired by nginx configuration files and compatible with JSON.
+For a complete description of the language, see [the libucl readme](https://github.com/vstakhov/libucl/blob/master/README.md).
+
+This library contains a datatype representing UCL objects, and a parser.
+It is based on the C library [libucl](https://github.com/vstakhov/libucl),
+which is needed to build this package.
