+
+A wrapper for dictionaries that allows dot notation indexing as well as traditional bracket indexing.
+
+```julia
+dict = Dict("a"=>1, "b"=>2, "c" => Dict("d"=>3))
+dm = DotMap(dict)
+
+dm.c.d # returns 3
+dm.c.e = 5
+dm["c"].e # returns 5
+```
+
+**NOTE** This is not as performative as using normal dictionaries, but is nice for accessing deeply nested dictionary structures, such as large config/yaml/json files.
