## Usage
The library is exceptionally user-friendly, and it only requires you to import a **Data Provider** object that
corresponds to the desired data type.
For instance, the [Person](https://mimesis.name/latest/api.html#person) provider can be imported to access personal information,
including name, surname, email, and other related fields:
```python
from mimesis import Person
from mimesis.locales import Locale
person = Person(Locale.EN)
person.full_name()
# Output: 'Brande Sears'
person.email(domains=['example.com'])
# Output: '[email protected]'
person.email(domains=['mimesis.name'], unique=True)
# Output: '[email protected]'
person.telephone(mask='1-4##-8##-5##3')
# Output: '1-436-896-5213'
```
