-//! AIS parsing library, for reading AIS NMEA sentences
+//! AIS parsing library for reading AIS NMEA sentences, with support for JSON serialization.

-//! Given an NMEA stream, this library can extract various AIS message types in more detail.
+//! This library parses NMEA AIS (Automatic Identification System) sentences and provides

 //!
-//! # Example:
+//! # Features
+//! - Parses AIS NMEA sentences into structured types.
+//! - Supports JSON serialization and deserialization for `AisSentence` objects.
