+# result
+
+Simple header-only variant-driven C++17 `Result<T,E>` implementation.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* c++17 or c++1z with support of variant
+
+## Usage example
+
+```cpp
+#include <cassert>
+#include <iostream>
+
+#include "result.h"
+
+using namespace std::string_literals;
+
+enum class ErrorCode { Error };
+using IError = Result::Error<ErrorCode>;
+template <class T> using IResult = Result::Result<T, ErrorCode>;
+
+
+class Test
+{
+public:
+    Test() = default;
+    ~Test() = default;
+    friend std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Test &)
+    {
+        os << "I'm test class";
+        return os;
+    };
+};
+
+
+template <class T> Result::Content print_example(IResult<T> r)
+{
+    switch (r.type()) {
+    case Result::Content::Value:
+        std::cout << "Result has value " << r.get() << std::endl;
+        return Result::Content::Value;
+    case Result::Content::Error:
+        std::cout << "Result has error " << r.error().message() << std::endl;
+        return Result::Content::Error;
+    case Result::Content::Empty:
+        std::cout << "Result does not contain anything" << std::endl;
+        return Result::Content::Empty;
+    }
+}
+
+
+int main()
+{
+    assert(print_example<int>(42) == Result::Content::Value);
+    assert(print_example<int>(IError("int error"s)) == Result::Content::Error);
+
+    assert(print_example<std::string>("a string"s) == Result::Content::Value);
+    assert(print_example<std::string>(IError("std::string error"s))
+           == Result::Content::Error);
+
+    assert(print_example<Test>(Test()) == Result::Content::Value);
+    assert(print_example<Test>(IError("Test error"s))
+           == Result::Content::Error);
