+A Gleam library providing lenient parsing functions for converting strings to float and integer values. This package offers more flexible parsing than the standard Gleam functions, similar to Python's built-in `float()` and `int()` functions.
+
+## Installation
+
+
 ```sh
 gleam add lenient_parse
 ```
 ```gleam
 import lenient_parse
-import gleam/float
 import gleam/io
 
 pub fn main() {
-  "1" |> float.parse |> io.debug
-  // Error(Nil)
-
   "1" |> lenient_parse.to_float |> io.debug
   // Ok(1.0)
+
+  "1.001" |> lenient_parse.to_float |> io.debug
+  // Ok(1.001)
+
+  "+123.321" |> lenient_parse.to_float |> io.debug
+  // Ok(123.321)
+
+  "-123.321" |> lenient_parse.to_float |> io.debug
+  // Ok(-123.321)
+
+  "1_000_000.0" |> lenient_parse.to_float |> io.debug
+  // Ok(1000000.0)
+
+  "123" |> lenient_parse.to_int |> io.debug
+  // Ok(123)
+
+  "+123" |> lenient_parse.to_int |> io.debug
+  // Ok(123)
+
+  "-123" |> lenient_parse.to_int |> io.debug
+  // Ok(-123)
+
+  "1_000_000" |> lenient_parse.to_int |> io.debug
+  // Ok(1000000)
 }
