+
+## Basic usage
+
+```rust
+use pom_parser::Configuration;
+let conf = Configuration::load_path("examples/conf.pom").expect("bad configuration");
+let indentation_type = conf.get("indentation-type");
+match indentation_type {
+	Some(t) => println!("indenting with {t}!"),
+	None => println!("no indentation type set!"),
+}
+let tab_size = conf.get_int_or_default("tab-size", 4)
+	.expect("invalid number for tab-size!");
+println!("tab size: {tab_size}");
+```
