-//! Compile-time generated maps and sets.
+//! Rust-PHF is a library to generate efficient lookup tables at compile time using
+//! [perfect hash functions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function).
 //!
-//! The `phf::Map` and `phf::Set` types have roughly comparable performance to

-//! If the `macros` Cargo feature is enabled, the `phf_map`, `phf_set`,

-//! ```toml
+//! PHF data structures can be constructed via either the procedural

+//! ```toml
+//! [dependencies]
+//! # to use `phf` in `no_std` environments
+//! phf = { version = "0.10", default-features = false }
 //! ```
-//! use phf::{phf_map, phf_set};

-//! static MY_MAP: phf::Map<&'static str, u32> = phf_map! {
-//!     "hello" => 1,
-//!     "world" => 2,

-//! static MY_SET: phf::Set<&'static str> = phf_set! {
-//!     "hello world",
-//!     "hola mundo",
+//! ```rust
+//! use phf::phf_map;
