+## Usage
+
+Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+
+```javascript
+// import any tool that you need from lik
+import { Stringmap, Objectmap, Observablemap } from 'lik';
+```
+
+### class Stringmap
+
+Stringmap allows you to keep track of strings. It allows you to register triggers for certain events
+like when a certain string is removed or added to the map
+
+### class Objectmap
+
+Sometimes you need to keep track of objects, but implementing logic for removing, finding or updating is tedious.
+Objectmap takes care of keeping track of objects for you.

+
+## Usage
+
+Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+
+```javascript
+// import any tool that you need from lik
+import { Stringmap, Objectmap, Observablemap } from 'lik';
+```
+
+### class Stringmap
+
+Stringmap allows you to keep track of strings. It allows you to register triggers for certain events
+like when a certain string is removed or added to the map
+
+### class Objectmap
+
+Sometimes you need to keep track of objects, but implementing logic for removing, finding or updating is tedious.
+Objectmap takes care of keeping track of objects for you.
+
