-fig is a tiny library for loading an application's config file and its environment into a Go struct. Individual fields can have default values defined or be marked as required.
+fig is a tiny library for loading an application's configuration into a Go struct.
 
 ## Why fig?
 
-- Define your **configuration**, **validations** and **defaults** in a single location
-- Optionally **load from the environment** as well
-- Only **3** external dependencies
-- Full support for`time.Time`, `time.Duration` & `regexp.Regexp`
-- Tiny API
-- Decoders for `.yaml`, `.json` and `.toml` files
+- 🛠️ Define your **configuration**, **validations** and **defaults** all within a single struct.
+- 🌍 Easily load your configuration from a **file**, the **environment**, or both.
+- ⏰ Decode strings into `Time`, `Duration`, `Regexp`, or any custom type that satisfies the `StringUnmarshaler` interface.
+- 🗂️ Compatible with `yaml`, `json`, and `toml` file formats.
+- 🧩 Only three external dependencies.

-If a field is not set and is marked as *required* then an error is returned. If a *default* value is defined instead then that value is used to populate the field.
-
-Fig searches for a file named `config.yaml` in the directory it is run from. Change the lookup behaviour by passing additional parameters to `Load()`:
-
-```go
-fig.Load(&cfg,
-  fig.File("settings.json"),
-  fig.Dirs(".", "/etc/myapp", "/home/user/myapp"),
-) // searches for ./settings.json, /etc/myapp/settings.json, /home/user/myapp/settings.json
-
-```
+Fields marked as _required_ are checked to ensure they're not empty, and _default_ values are applied to fill in those that are empty.
 
 ## Environment
 
-Need to additionally fill fields from the environment? It's as simple as:
+By default, fig will only look for values in a config file. To also include values from the environment, use the `UseEnv` option:
 
 ```go
-fig.Load(&cfg, fig.UseEnv("MYAPP"))
+fig.Load(&cfg, fig.UseEnv("APP_PREFIX"))
 ```
 
+In case of conflicts, values from the environment take precedence.

-// StringUnmarshaler is an interface for custom unmarshaling of strings
+// StringUnmarshaler is an interface designed for custom string unmarshaling.
 //
-// If a field with a local type asignment satisfies this interface, it allows the user
-// to implment their own custom type unmarshaling method.
+// This interface is used when a field of a custom type needs to define its own
+// method for unmarshaling from a string. This is particularly useful for handling
+// different string representations that need to be converted into a specific type.
 //
-// Example:
+// To use this, the custom type must implement this interface and a corresponding
