+This project provides Python bindings for interfacing with the
+Zstandard compression library. A C extension and CFFI interface
+are provided.
+
+The primary goal of the project is to provide a rich interface
+to the underlying C API through a Pythonic interface while not
+sacrificing performance. This means exposing most of the features
+and flexibility of the C API while not sacrificing usability or
+safety that Python provides.
