10 ### Getting familiar with the project
12 **The architecture** is somewhat unique, it was originally inspired by [XML pull parsers](http://www.xmlpull.org), but ended up going in somewhat its own direction. to get familiar with it,
13 - start my reading the [README](README.md) page, which gives some details on the design of the parser (pull-based events) and some rationalization for it ;
14 - read the [blog post](https://fullyfaithful.eu/pulldown-cmark) about the release of Pulldown-cmark 0.3 by Marcus Klaas de Vries.
16 **The source code** can be approached by skimming the [API documentation](https://docs.rs/pulldown-cmark/latest/pulldown_cmark) first, then explore the code for the main struct, [`Parser`](https://docs.rs/pulldown-cmark/latest/pulldown_cmark/struct.Parser.html)
