+The ReflectionDocBlock Component [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock.png)](https://travis-ci.org/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock)
+================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The ReflectionDocBlock component of phpDocumentor provides a DocBlock parser
+that is 100% compatible with the [PHPDoc standard](http://phpdoc.org/docs/latest).
+
+With this component, a library can provide support for annotations via DocBlocks
+or otherwise retrieve information that is embedded in a DocBlock.
+
+> **Note**: *this is a core component of phpDocumentor and is constantly being
+> optimized for performance.*
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+You can install the component in the following ways:
+
+* Use the official Github repository (https://github.com/phpDocumentor/ReflectionDocBlock)
+* Via Composer (http://packagist.org/packages/phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock)
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The ReflectionDocBlock component is designed to work in an identical fashion to
+PHP's own Reflection extension (http://php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php).
+
+Parsing can be initiated by instantiating the
+`\phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock()` class and passing it a string containing
+a DocBlock (including asterisks) or by passing an object supporting the
+`getDocComment()` method.
+
+> *Examples of objects having the `getDocComment()` method are the
+> `ReflectionClass` and the `ReflectionMethod` classes of the PHP
+> Reflection extension*
+
+Example:
+
+    $class = new ReflectionClass('MyClass');
+    $phpdoc = new \phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock($class);
+
+or
+
+    $docblock = <<<DOCBLOCK
+    /**
+     * This is a short description.
+     *
+     * This is a *long* description.
+     *
+     * @return void
+     */
+    DOCBLOCK;
+
+    $phpdoc = new \phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock($docblock);
