## Usage Patterns

Each example includes:
- **Overview**: What the example demonstrates
- **Key Features**: NOML features showcased
- **Use Cases**: When to use this pattern
- **Best Practices**: Recommended approaches
- **Related Examples**: Links to similar configurations

## Running Examples

You can parse and validate any example using the NOML CLI:

```bash
# Validate syntax
noml validate examples/basic.noml

# Parse and display structure
noml parse examples/web_app.noml
```

Or use them in your Rust code:

```rust
use noml::parse_from_file;

let config = parse_from_file("examples/basic.noml")?;
println!("App name: {}", config.get("app.name")?.as_string()?);
```

## Contributing Examples

When adding new examples:

1. Include comprehensive comments explaining each section
2. Demonstrate best practices for the use case
3. Add the example to this README with a brief description
4. Ensure the example parses successfully with `noml validate`
5. Include realistic values that would be used in practice
