+
+## Overview
+
+The `sec-parser` project simplifies the process of extracting meaningful information from SEC EDGAR HTML documents. It organizes the document's source code into a list or tree of elements that correspond to the visual structure of the document. This includes distinct elements for section titles, paragraphs, and tables, making the data easier to analyze and understand. 
+
+This tool is especially beneficial for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLM) applications. It significantly improves the efficiency of data extraction and analysis in these fields.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install `sec-parser` using pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install sec-parser
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from sec_parser import parse_latest
+
+tree = parse_latest("10-K", ticker="AAPL")
+
