+=== Parsing
+
+==== Parse from \String Without Headers
+
+\Class method CSV.parse can read a source \String all at once,
+and so may have memory resource implications:
+  string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
+  CSV.parse(string) # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"]]
+
+Instance method CSV#each can read a source \String one row at a time:
+  CSV.new(string).each do |row|
+    p row
+  end
+Output:
+  ["foo", "0"]
+  ["bar", "1"]
+  ["baz", "2"]
+
+==== Parse from \String with Headers
+
+\Class method CSV.parse can read a source \String all at once,
+and so may have memory resource implications:
+  string = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"

+
+Instance method CSV#each can read a source \String one row at a time:

+
+=== Generating
+
+==== Generate to \String Without Headers
+
+\Class method CSV.generate can generate to a \String.
+
+This example uses method CSV#<< to append the rows
+that are to be generated:
+  output_string = CSV.generate do |csv|
+    csv << ['Foo', 0]
+    csv << ['Bar', 1]
+    csv << ['Baz', 2]
+  end
+  output_string # => "Foo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"
+
+==== Generate to \String with Headers
+
+\Class method CSV.generate can generate to a \String.
+
+This example uses method CSV#<< to append the rows
+that are to be generated:
+  output_string = CSV.generate('', headers: ['Name', 'Value'], write_headers: true) do |csv|
+    csv << ['Foo', 0]
+    csv << ['Bar', 1]
+    csv << ['Baz', 2]
+  end
+  output_string # => "Name,Value\nFoo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"
+
+==== Generate to \File Without Headers
+
+\Class method CSV.open can generate to a \File.
+
+This example uses method CSV#<< to append the rows
+that are to be generated:

+  CSV.open(path, 'w') do |csv|
+    csv << ['Foo', 0]
+    csv << ['Bar', 1]
+    csv << ['Baz', 2]

+
+==== Generate to \IO Stream with Headers
+
+\\Classs method CSV.new can generate \CSV data to an \IO stream:
+  path = 't.csv'
+  File.open(path, 'w') do |file|
+    csv = CSV.new(file, headers: ['Name', 'Value'], write_headers: true)
+    csv << ['Foo', 0]

+
+=== Filtering
+
+\Class method CSV.filter provides a Unix-style filter for \CSV data.
