-## Parsing
+### Parsing a Calendar
 There is a feature called `"parser"` which allows you to read calendars again like this:
 
 ```rust
-//... continue from previous example
+use std::fs::File;
+use std::io::Read;
+use icalendar::{Calendar, CalendarComponent, Component};
+
+let mut file = File::open("fixtures/icalendar-rb/event.ics").unwrap();
+let mut contents = String::new();
+file.read_to_string(&mut contents);
+let parsed_calendar: Calendar = contents.parse().unwrap();
+
+for component in &parsed_calendar.components {
+    match component {
+        CalendarComponent::Event(event) => {
+            println!("Event: {}", event.get_summary().unwrap())
+        },
+        _ => {}
+    }
+}
 
-let parsed_calendar = my_calendar.parse::<Calendar>()?;
 ```
 
+## Structure
+A [`Calendar`] represents a full calendar, which contains multiple [`Component`]s. These may be either [`Event`]s, [`Todo`]s, or [`Venue`]s. Components in turn have [`Property`]s, which may have [`Parameter`]s.

-//! ```
-//!
-//! ## Breaking API Changes in version 0.7.0
-//!
-//! - [`Todo::due`] and [`Todo::completed`] now take their date-time argument by value rather than by
-//!   reference
-//! - [`Todo::completed`] now requires its [`chrono::DateTime`] argument to have exactly [`chrono::Utc`]
-//!   specified as its time zone as mandated by the RFC.
-//! - [`EventLike::starts`], [`EventLike::ends`] and [`Todo::due`] now take newly introduced
-//!   [`CalendarDateTime`] (through [`Into<CalendarDateTime>`] indirection). This allows callers to
-//!   define time zone handling. Conversions from [`chrono::NaiveDateTime`] and
-//!   [`chrono::DateTime<Utc>`](chrono::DateTime) are provided for ergonomics, the latter also restoring API
-//!   compatibility in case of UTC date-times.
