+## Full EDI Reader
 
 Use [`NewReader()`](../extensions/omniv21/fileformat/edi/reader.go) to create an EDI reader that does
 - segment min/max validation
 - XPath based data row filtering
 - Context-aware error message

+## Non-Validating EDI Segment Reader
+
+Use [`NewNonValidatingReader()`](../extensions/omniv21/fileformat/edi/reader2.go) to create a
+non-validating EDI segment reader. Sometimes user might not want the full EDI reader that does
+many packing/unpacking and structural/hierarchical validations, they simply need an EDI segment
+reader that reads out all the raw segments and their elements/components.
+
+Usage example:
+```
+r := edi.NewNonValidatingReader(
+    strings.NewReader("....."),
+    &edi.FileDecl{
+        SegDelim: ...,
+        ElemDelim: ...,
+        ...,
+        // No need to set SegDecls. Just all the needed top level edi.FileDecl settings.
+    })
+for {
+    seg, err := r.Read()
+    if err == io.EOF {
+        break
+    }
+    if err != nil { ... }
+    // seg contains the raw segment data, and is of edi.RawSeg type.
+}
+```
