+The header is parsed with the same rules as other rows, the only difference is that **`multiline`** will be disabled when parsing the header. To get the data that is
+present in the header as a **`std::vector<std::string>`**, the **`header`** method can be used, and to get the header line before it has been parsed, the **`raw_header`** method can be used:
+```cpp
+    // ...
+    ss::parser<ss::throw_on_error> p{"students_with_header.csv"};
+
+    std::cout << p.raw_header() << std::endl;

+    // ...
+```
+```shell
+$ ./a.out

+> Id
+> Age
+> Grade
+```
+Methods related to headers can also fail, the error handling of these is done in the same way as for other methods.

 ## Conversions
 An alternate loop to the example above would look like: 
 ```cpp
-while(!p.eof()) {
+// ...
-    auto [name, age, grade] = p.get_next<std::string, int, float>();
+ss::parser p{"students.csv"};

+while (!p.eof()) {

     if (p.valid()) {
-        std::cout << name << ' ' << age << ' ' << grade << std::endl;
+        std::cout << id << ' ' << age << ' ' << grade << std::endl;
     }
 }

 If **`get_next`** is called with a **`tuple`** as template parameter it would behave identically to passing the same tuple parameters to **`get_next`**:
 ```cpp
 using student = std::tuple<std::string, int, float>;

 Whole objects can be returned using the **`get_object`** function which takes the tuple, created in a similar way as **`get_next`** does it, and creates an object out of it:

 And finally, using something I personally like to do, a struct (class) with a **`tied`** method which returns a tuple of references to to the members of the struct.
 ```cpp

     int age;

+*Note, the order in which the members of the tied method are returned must match the order of the elements in the CSV*.
 
+## Buffer mode
+The parser also works with buffers containing CSV data instead of files. To parse buffer data with the parser simply create the parser by giving it the buffer, as **`const char*`**, and its size. The initial example using a buffer instead of a file would look similar to this:
+```cpp
+std::string buffer = "James Bailey,65,2.5\nBrian S. Wolfe,40,1.9\n";
+
+ss::parser<ss::throw_on_error> p{buffer.c_str(), buffer.size()};
+
+for (const auto& [id, age, grade] : p.iterate<std::string, int, float>()) {
+    std::cout << id << ' ' << age << ' ' << grade << std::endl;
+}
+
+return 0;
+```
 ## Setup
 By default, many of the features supported by the parser are disabled. They can be enabled within the template parameters of the parser. For example, to enable quoting and escaping the parser would look like:
 ```cpp

 // returns std::tuple<std::string, float>
-auto [name, grade] = p.get_next<student>();

 ```
 Values can also be converted to **`std::string_view`**. It is more efficient then converting values to **`std::string`** but one must be careful with the lifetime of it.

-auto [name, age, grade] = p.get_next<std::string_view, int, float>();

 Similar to **`std::optional`**, **`std::variant`** could be used to try other conversions if the previous failed _(Note, conversion to std::string will always pass)_:

 ```
+Passing **`char`** and types that are aliases to it such as **`uint8_t`** and **`int8_t`** make the parser interpret the input data as a single character in a similar way to how **`std::cin`** does it. To read numeric values into something like **`uint8_t`** the **`ss::uint8`** and **`ss::int8`** types can be used. These are wrappers around the corresponding char aliases and can be implicitly converted to and from them. When these types are given to the parser he will try to read the given data and store it in the underlying element, but this time as a numeric value instead of a single character.
+```cpp
+// returns std::tuple<std::string, ss::uint8, float>
+auto [id, age, grade] = p.get_next<std::string, ss::uint8, float>();
+uint8_t age_copy = age;
+```
 ## Restrictions
 
 Custom **`restrictions`** can be used to narrow down the conversions of unwanted values. **`ss::ir`** (in range) and **`ss::ne`** (none empty) are some of those:
 ```cpp
-// ss::ne makes sure that the name is not empty
+// ss::ne makes sure that the id is not empty
 // ss::ir makes sure that the grade will be in range [0, 10]

-auto [name, age, grade] = 
+auto [id, age, grade] = 
     p.get_next<ss::ne<std::string>, int, ss::ir<float, 0, 10>>();
 ```
 If the restrictions are not met, the conversion will fail. Other predefined restrictions are **`ss::ax`** (all except), **`ss::nx`** (none except) and **`ss::oor`** (out of range), **`ss::lt`** (less than), ...(see *restrictions.hpp*):

 ## Error handling
 
+By default, the parser handles errors only using the **`valid`** method which would return **`false`** if the file could not be opened, or if the conversion could not be made (invalid types, invalid number of columns, ...).\
+The **`eof`** method can be used to detect if the end of the file was reached.
+
 Detailed error messages can be accessed via the **`error_msg`** method, and to enable them **`ss::string_error`** needs to be included in the setup. If **`ss::string_error`** is not defined, the **`error_msg`** method will not be defined either.
 
+The line number can be fetched using the **`line`** method.
+The cursor position can be fetched using the **`position`** method.
 ```cpp
-const std::string& parser::error_msg();
+const std::string& parser::error_msg() const;
-bool parser::valid();
+bool parser::valid() const;
-bool parser::eof();

-An error can be detected using the **`valid`** method which would return **`false`** if the file could not be opened, or if the conversion could not be made (invalid types, invalid number of columns, ...). The **`eof`** method can be used to detect if the end of the file was reached.
+
+The above two methods are preferable if invalid inputs are expected and allows for fast handling, but the parser can also be forced to throw an exception in case of an invalid input using the **`ss::throw_on_error`** setup option. Enabling exceptions also makes the **`valid`** method always return **`true`**.
+
+```cpp
+ss::parser<ss::throw_on_error> parser;

+*Note, enabling this option will also make the parser throw if the constructor fails.*

 It is a bit less readable, but it removes the need to check which conversion was invoked. The **`composite`** also has an **`on_error`** method which accepts a lambda which will be invoked if no previous conversions were successful. The lambda can take no arguments or just one argument, an **`std::string`**, in which the error message is stored if **`string_error`** is enabled:
 ```cpp
 p.try_next<int>()
     .on_error([](const std::string& e) { /* int conversion failed */ })
     .or_object<x, double>()
-    .on_error([] { /* int and x (all) conversions failed */ });
+    .on_error([] { /* int and x conversions failed (all previous failed) */ });
