+## Usage
+Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+
+The main purpose of npmextra is to configure different tools using one npmextra.json. This way complex setups avoid additional complexity caused by too many configuration files.
+
+npmextra.json
+```json
+{
+    "sometool": {
+        "defaultKey1": "awesomeValueFromConfig"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { Npmextra } from 'npmextra'
+
+let myNpmExtra = new Npmextra('my/path/to/cwd') // cwd argument is optional 
+mergedData = myNpmExtra.dataFor(
+    'sometool',
+    { // gets merged with whatever is in the configfile
+        defaultKey1: 'defaultValue1', // so this will get overwritten with "awesomeValueFromConfig"
+        defaultKey2: 'defaultValue2' // this one will pass through unaltered
+    }
+)
+```
