+
+# Overview
+
+This Scalar represents a valid electronic mail address using a simplified version of [RFC 5322](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322).
+
+The format of an email address is `local@domain`, where the local part may consist of up to 64 UTF-8 characters, the domain part may consist of up to 255 UTF-8 characters, and the two parts are separated by an `@` sign.
+
+Other formats, including using square-bracketed IP addresses in the domain part, and quoted-string local parts, are not supported for simplicity.
+
+The local part may contain any of the following ASCII characters:
+- Uppercase and lowercase Latin letters `A` to `Z` and `a` to `z`
+- Digits `0` to `9`
+- Printable characters ``!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~``
+- Dot `.`, provided that it is not the first or last character and provided also that it does not appear consecutively
+
+The domain part may contain any of the following ASCII characters:
+- Uppercase and lowercase Latin letters `A` to `Z` and `a` to `z`
+- Digits `0` to `9`, provided that top-level domain names are non-all-numeric (.com, .net, .org, b2b, etc.)
+- Hyphen `-`, provided that it is not the first or last character
+
+**Examples**
+
+The general format is described in [RFC5322 Section 3.4.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322#section-3.4.1).
+These examples are taken from [WikiPedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Examples), which is also based off of [RFC5322 Section 3.4.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322#section-3.4.1).
