+#### Unit manipulation made easy
+
+# Units
+
+There's two main units in [United](https://github.com/lcallarec/united/) :
+
+* [`Value`](#value), which hold any [SI derived units](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units)
+* [`Bytes`](#bytes), which can be SI prefixed (ex. kB, MB...) or IEC / Binary prefixed (ex. KiB, GiB...)
+
+And lists of prefixes :
+
+* [`Prefix`](#prefixes), which represent some [SI derived prefixes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units)
+* [`BinaryPrefix`](#binary-prefixes), which meant to represent [Binary prefixes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix) to be used with `Bytes`.
+
+
+## Value
+
+* Create a value :
+
+```vala
+// From value and unit (potentially prefixed)
+var weight = new Value(5, "g");
+var weight = new Value(5.97, "kg");
+
+// From string
+var weight = new Value.from_string("15,8g");
+
+//From known attributes
+var weight = new Value.from_attributes(8.15, "g", Prefix.kilo());
+```
+
+* Public attributes and presentation methods
+
+```vala
+var power = new Value.from_string("2.21GW");
+
+power.measure;     // 2.21
+power.unit;        // "W"
+power.prefix;      // Prefix.GIGA
+power.to_string(); // "2.21GW"
+power.to_string("%.1f"); // "2.2GW"
+```
+
+* Convert to another Prefix
+
+```vala
+var power_in_GW = new Value(2.21, "GW");
+
+power_in_GW.measure;     // 2.21
+power_in_GW.unit;        // "W"
+power_in_GW.prefix;      // Prefix.GIGA
+power_in_GW.to_string(); // "2.21GW"
+
+
+var power_in_kW = power_in_GW.to(Prefix.KILO);
+
+power_in_kW.measure;     // 2210000
+power_in_kW.unit;        // "W"
+power_in_kW.prefix;      // Prefix.KILO
+power_in_kW.to_string(); // "2210000kW"
+```
+
+* Convert to an human readable format
+
+Humans don't like to read 2210000000W. They prefer reading number lower than 1000.
+
+```vala
+var power_in_GW = new Value(2210000000, "W");
+
+var human_readable = power_in_GW.to_human();
+
+human_readable.measure;     // 2.21
+human_readable.unit;        // "W"
+human_readable.prefix;      // Prefix.GIGA
+human_readable.to_string(); // "2.21GW"
+```
+
+# Prefixes
+
+Prefixes are mostly used to convert a value to another value, or print a custom value.
+
+```vala
+var yotta   = Prefix.yotta();   //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.YOTTA);
+var zeta    = Prefix.zeta();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.ZETA);
+var exa     = Prefix.exa();     //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.EXA);
+var peta    = Prefix.peta();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.PETA);
+var tera    = Prefix.tera();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.TERA);
+var giga    = Prefix.giga();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.GIGA);
+var mega    = Prefix.mega();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.MEGA);
+var kilo    = Prefix.kilo();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.KILO);
+var none    = Prefix.none();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.NONE);
+var milli   = Prefix.milli();   //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.MILLI);
+var micro   = Prefix.micro();   //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.MICRO);
+var nano    = Prefix.nano();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.NANO);
+var pico    = Prefix.pico();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.PICO);
+var femto   = Prefix.femto();   //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.FEMTO);
+var atto    = Prefix.atto();    //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.ATTO);
+var zepto   = Prefix.zepto();   //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.ZEPTO);
+var yocto   = Prefix.yocto();   //Shortcut for new Prefix(Prefix.YOCTO);
+
+// Convert
+var power = new Value(2.21, "GW");
+var MW = power.to(Prefix.mega());
+
+MW.measure;     // 2210
+MW.unit;        // "W"
+MW.prefix;      // Prefix.MEGA
+MW.to_string(); // "2210MW"
+
+```
+
+Print a prefix :
+
+```vala
+yotta.to_string(); // "Y"
+zeta.to_string();  // "Z"
+exa.to_string();   // "E"
+peta.to_string();  // "P"
+tera.to_string();  // "T"
+giga.to_string();  // "G"
+mega.to_string();  // "M"
+kilo.to_string();  // "k"
+none.to_string();  // "" 
+milli.to_string(); // "m"
+micro.to_string(); // "μ"
+nano.to_string();  // "n"
+pico.to_string();  // "p"
+femto.to_string(); // "f"
+atto.to_string();  // "a"
+zepto.to_string(); // "z"
+yocto.to_string(); // "y"
+```
+
+## Bytes
+
+Bytes share most of the `Value` features.
+
+* Create a Bytes :
+
+```vala
+// From value and unit (potentially prefixed)
+var size = new Bytes(5, "B");
+var size = new Value(5.97, "MB");
+
+```
+
+* Public attributes and presentation methods
+
+```vala
+var size = new Bytes(2097152, "B");
+
+size.value;       // 2097152
+size.unit;        // "B"
+size.prefix;      // Prefix.NONE
+size.to_string(); // "2097152BW"
+```
+
+* Convert to another Prefix
+
+SI prefixes :
+
+```vala
+var b = new Bytes(2097152, "B");
+
+var kb = b.to(Prefix.kilo());
+
+kb.value;       // 2097,152
+kb.unit;        // "B"
+kb.prefix;      // Prefix.KILO
+kb.to_string(); // "2097,152kB"
+```
+
+To binary prefixes :
+
+```vala
+var b = new Bytes(2097152, "B");
+var kb = b.to(Prefix.kilo());
+var MiB = kb.to(BinaryPrefix.mebi());
+
+kb.value;       // 2
+kb.unit;        // "B"
+kb.prefix;      // BinaryPrefix.MEBI;
+kb.to_string(); // "2MiB"
+```
+
+* Convert to an human readable format
+
+Humans don't like to read 2097152B. They prefer reading number lower than 1000.
+
+```vala
+var b = new Bytes(2097152, "B");
+var human_readable = b.to_human();
+
+human_readable.to_string(); // "2MiB"
+```
+
+# Binary prefixes
+
+Binary prefixes should only be used with Bytes type.
+
+```vala
+var yobi = BinaryPrefix.yobi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.YOBI);
+var zebi = BinaryPrefix.zebi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.ZEBI);
+var exbi = BinaryPrefix.exbi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.EXBI);
+var pebi = BinaryPrefix.pebi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.PEBI);
+var tebi = BinaryPrefix.tebi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.TEBI);
+var gibi = BinaryPrefix.gibi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.GIBI);
+var mebi = BinaryPrefix.mebi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.MEBI);
+var kibi = BinaryPrefix.kibi(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.KIBI);
+var none = BinaryPrefix.none(); // Shortcut for new BinaryPrefix(BinaryPrefix.NONE);
+
+// Convert
+var size = new Bytes(1024);
+var KB = size.to(BinaryPrefix.kilo());
+
+KB.value;       // 1
+KB.unit;        // "B"
+KB.prefix;      // BinaryPrefix.KILO;
+KB.to_string(); // "1KiB"
+
+```
+
+Print a prefix :
+
+```vala
+yobi.to_string(); // "Yi"
+zebi.to_string(); // "Zi"
+exbi.to_string(); // "Ei"
+pebi.to_string(); // "Pi"
+tebi.to_string(); // "Ti"
+gibi.to_string(); // "Gi"
+mebi.to_string(); // "Mi"
+kibi.to_string(); // "Ki"
+none.to_string(); // ""
+```
