+```
 
 ## Usage
 
-smartfile is an approach of being one tool to handle files in diverse environments.
+`@push.rocks/smartfile` provides a robust suite of tools for managing files in Node.js projects using modern TypeScript and ESM syntax. It simplifies numerous file operations such as reading, writing, copying, and streaming files, as well as working with directories and virtual file systems.
 
-### Smartfile Sections
+### **Key Features and Classes**
 
-smartfile thinks in sections:
+- **`SmartFile`**: Facilitates reading from and writing to individual files, managing metadata.
+- **`StreamFile`**: Optimizes memory usage by enabling efficient file streaming.
+- **`VirtualDirectory`**: Allows manipulation of a group of files or directories as a virtual file system.
 
-| section     | description                                                                  |
-| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| fs          | (object) gets data from fs to somewhere                                      |
-| memory      | gets data from memory to somewhere                                           |
-| remote      | gets data from remote locations to somewhere                                 |
-| interpreter | (object) handles yaml and json                                               |
-| smartfile   | (class) a virtual representation of a file, alternative to vinyl file format |
+### **Getting Started with ESM and TypeScript**
 
-## Contribution
+First, ensure your project supports ESM syntax and TypeScript. Then, begin by importing the desired features from `@push.rocks/smartfile`:
 
-We are always happy for code contributions. If you are not the code contributing type that is ok. Still, maintaining Open Source repositories takes considerable time and thought. If you like the quality of what we do and our modules are useful to you we would appreciate a little monthly contribution: You can [contribute one time](https://lossless.link/contribute-onetime) or [contribute monthly](https://lossless.link/contribute). :)
+```typescript
+import { SmartFile, StreamFile, VirtualDirectory, memory, fs as smartFs } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
+```
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+### **Reading and Writing Files**
 
-## Legal
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Task Venture Capital GmbH](https://task.vc)
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
+#### Reading Files
+
+Reading a JSON file:
+
+```typescript
+const myJsonFile: SmartFile = await SmartFile.fromFilePath('./data.json');
+const jsonData = JSON.parse(myJsonFile.contents.toString());
+console.log(jsonData);
+```
+
+#### Writing Files
+
+Writing content to a file:
+
+```typescript
+const filePath: string = './output.txt';
+const content: string = 'Hello, SmartFile!';
+await memory.toFs(content, filePath);
+console.log('File saved successfully.');
+```
+
+### **Streaming Large Files**
+
+For large files, `StreamFile` provides a memory-efficient streaming solution:
+
+```typescript
+import { createReadStream } from 'fs';
+
+const sourceStream = createReadStream('./large-video.mp4');
+const myStreamFile = await StreamFile.fromStream(sourceStream, 'large-video.mp4');
+await myStreamFile.writeToDir('./storage');
+console.log('Large file streamed to disk successfully.');
+```
+
+### **Working with Virtual Directories**
+
+`VirtualDirectory` abstracts a collection of files allowing operations to be performed as if they were on disk:
+
+```typescript
+const virtualDir = new VirtualDirectory();
+virtualDir.addSmartfiles([smartFile1, smartFile2]); // Assuming these are SmartFile instances
+await virtualDir.saveToDisk('./virtual-output');
+console.log('Virtual directory saved to disk.');
+```
+
+### **Advanced File Operations**
+
+`@push.rocks/smartfile` simplifies complex file operations, including:
+
+- Copying directories and files
+- Removing files or directories
+- Listing files and directories with filters
+- Reading file content directly into JavaScript objects
+
+### **Web File Handling**
+
+Handling files from HTTP requests:
+
+`@push.rocks/smartfile` offers utilities to work with files from web sources, making it simpler to manage downloads and uploads.
+
+### **Comprehensive File Management**
+
+Whether you're dealing with local files, directories, or files over the internet, `@push.rocks/smartfile` provides a comprehensive set of tools to streamline your workflow and reduce the complexity of file management in your Node.js projects.
