+```
+

+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/sourcecode.social/reiver/go-brace?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/sourcecode.social/reiver/go-brace)
+
+## Example
+
+Here is an example:
+```golang
+
+import "sourcecode.social/reiver/go-brace"
+import "sourcecode.social/reiver/go-utf-8"
+
+// ...
+
+const value string = `{This is a brace-string literal. It begins with a \{ symbol and end with a \} symbol. Now look at this: {wow} }`
+
+var reader io.Reader = strings.NewReader(value)
+var runereader io.RuneReader = utf8.NewRuneReader(reader)
+
+bracestring, err := brace.ParseToString(runereader)
+if nil != err {
+		return err
+}
+
+fmt.Print(bracestring)
+
+// This will print:
+//
+//	This is a brace-string literal. It begins with a { symbol and end with a } symbol. Now look at this: {wow} 
+//
+// I.e., the string:
+//
+//	"This is a brace-string literal. It begins with a { symbol and end with a } symbol. Now look at this: {wow} "
+//
+// Notice that the beginning '{' is not there, that the ending '}' is not there, and the 2 '\' are not there either.
