+## JagTag
+JagTag is a simple - yet powerful and customizable - interpretted text parsing language!
+Some methods are included in the built-in libraries, and additional methods can be defined that utilize the parser environment veriables, as well as the method's input.
+
+## Simple Example
+```java
+import me.jagrosh.jagtag.*;
+public class Example
+{
+  public static void main(String[] args)
+  {
+    Parser parser = JagTag.newDefaultBuilder()
+                .addMethod( new Method("exclaim", (env,in) -> in[0]+"!!!") )
+                .build();
+    String result = parser.parse("{exclaim:{if:this|=|that|then:Foo Bar|else:Hello World}}");
+    System.out.println(result);
+  }
+}
+```
+Result: `Hello World!!!`
+
+## Current Projects
+Here are some other projects that utilize JagTag:
+* [**Spectra (Discord Bot)**](https://github.com/jagrosh/Spectra) - Spectra uses JagTag in its customizable "tags" (user-created commands), and in welcome and leave messages for servers. (https://github.com/jagrosh/Spectra/blob/master/src/spectra/jagtag/libraries/Discord.java)
