+# Variables used by this module, they can change the default behaviour.
+# Those variables need to be either set before calling find_package
+# or exported as environment variables before running CMake:
+#
+# RAPIDJSON_INCLUDEDIR - Set custom include path, useful when rapidjson headers are
+#                        outside system paths
+# RAPIDJSON_USE_SSE2   - Configure rapidjson to take advantage of SSE2 capabilities
+# RAPIDJSON_USE_SSE42  - Configure rapidjson to take advantage of SSE4.2 capabilities
+#
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+# Variables defined by this module:
+#
+# RAPIDJSON_FOUND        - True if rapidjson was found
+# RAPIDJSON_INCLUDE_DIRS - Path to rapidjson include directory
+# RAPIDJSON_CXX_FLAGS    - Extra C++ flags required for compilation with rapidjson
+#
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+# Example usage:
+#
+#  set(RAPIDJSON_USE_SSE2 ON)
+#  set(RAPIDJSON_INCLUDEDIR "/opt/github.com/rjeczalik/rapidjson/include")
+#
+#  find_package(rapidjson REQUIRED)
+#
+#  include_directories("${RAPIDJSON_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
+#  set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${RAPIDJSON_CXX_FLAGS}")
+#  add_executable(foo foo.cc)
+#
