+Stability   : experimental
+
+URI.ByteString aims to be an RFC3986 compliant URI parser that uses
+efficient ByteStrings for parsing and representing the data. This
+module provides a URI datatype as well as a parser and serializer.
+
+Note that this library is an early release and may have issues. It is
+currently being used in production and no issues have been
+encountered, however. Please report any issues encountered to the
+issue tracker.
