+#### Globals
+
+`Globals` in `Vars` refer to variables defined as such:
+
+```yaml
+_globals:
+    test_key_1: test_value_1
+```
+
+Basically they are just encapsulated in an `_globals` array -- the use of these are so you can access them from `getGlobals()` from `Vars`
+
+The default action is to merge them into the other file contents, so that:
+
+```yaml
+_globals:
+    test_key_1: test_value_1
+test_key_2: test_value_2
+```
+
+Becomes:
+```php
+[
+    'test_key_1' => 'test_value_1',
+    'test_key_2' => 'test_value_2',
+]
+```
+But you can override this by changing `merge_globals` to `false` via the options.
+
+If this doesn't make sense then you probably won't need to use globals at all, but they're useful for working with framesworks
+which encapsulate everything under say `$app` and you want to be able to access some key => values like so: `$app['test_key_1']`. 
+See the Silex provider section for more examples.
+
 #### Caching
 
 Vars automatically caches the resources for 5 minutes, you can turn this off by setting the `cache` option to `false`.
