Documentation

The two main entry points to the API are the parse and parse_file functions in the xrp package

They both return an xrp.views.XFileView object, which has resources and definitions attributes with dict-like interface for accessing the parsed data.

No designated docs are written yet (but are planned to be) - use help() on the xrp.views.XFileView object for more information on usage.
