+# GodotXML - advanced XML support for Godot 4.
+
+This addon adds support for manipulating XML data in Godot 4 with ease.
+
+> Supports Godot 4.0, 4.1 and the likely the upcoming 4.2.
+
+> HINT: Migrating from v1? See [changelog](./CHANGELOG.md) for a complete list of breaking (and not) changes.
+
+## Features
+
+- Pure-Godot - everything is done using built-in `XMLParser` and does not rely on external bindings*;
+- Loading and dumping XML data into/from a convenient class-based format;
+- Beautifying XML;
+- Converting XML into dictionaries;
+- Access uniquely named children of nodes as if they were regular attributes (works in the editor too!);
+- Decent error messages for when the input is malformed*.
+
+<details>
+  <summary>*Future plans</summary>
+
+  `XMLParser`, Godot's native, low-level XML parser that this addon works on top of, or, more specifically,
+  `irrXML` (on which `XMLParser` is based), always assumes input to be trusted and valid, and therefore lacks both
+  adequate error handling and adequate security measures. In case of error handling addon currently
+  implements a few workarounds that eliminate *known* godot bugs, but still cannot handle syntactically invalid
+  input; in case of security we can't do anything unfortunately. Due to the above and our intention for this
+  plugin to be usable in as much cases as possible, this addon will soon migrate to a custom, more modern XML
+  library like Expat.

+## Installation

+
+## API
+
+All functions and attributes that are meant for use by you do not have `_` before their name
+and are also listed before any internal function.
+
+All other functions and attributes are **not meant** to be used by you, though of course
+you can edit them as you like.
+
+## Roadmap
