 ## Usage
 
-Use TypeScript for best in class intellisense
+### Getting Started
 
-## Contribution
+First, ensure that your project is set up to use TypeScript and ESM syntax. Then, you can import `SmartXml` from @push.rocks/smartxml as follows:
 
-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 { SmartXml } from '@push.rocks/smartxml';
+```
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+`SmartXml` provides two main functionalities: parsing XML formatted strings into JavaScript objects and vice versa, creating XML formatted strings from JavaScript objects.

+### Parsing XML String to Object
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
 
-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+To parse an XML string to a JavaScript object, you can use the `parseXmlToObject` method. This method takes an XML string as its argument and returns a JavaScript object.
+
+Here's a simple example:
+
+```typescript
+const xmlString = `
+<note>
+  <to>Tove</to>
+  <from>Jani</from>
+  <heading>Reminder</heading>
+  <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
+</note>
+`;
+
+const smartXml = new SmartXml();
+const resultObject = smartXml.parseXmlToObject(xmlString);
+
+console.log(resultObject);
+```
+
+### Creating XML String from Object
+
+Conversely, if you have a JavaScript object that you want to convert into an XML formatted string, you can use the `createXmlFromObject` method. This method accepts a JavaScript object and returns a string containing the XML representation of the object.
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```typescript
+const noteObject = {
+  note: {
+    to: 'Tove',
+    from: 'Jani',
+    heading: 'Reminder',
+    body: "Don't forget me this weekend!",
+  },
+};
+
+const smartXml = new SmartXml();
+const xmlString = smartXml.createXmlFromObject(noteObject);
+
+console.log(xmlString);
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+The `SmartXml` class is built on top of the `fast-xml-parser` library, which provides a lot of flexibility for both parsing and creation. For example, when creating XML from objects, you can control attributes, formatting, and more.
+
+Let's look at a more complex example that includes XML attributes:
+
+```typescript
+const complexObject = {
+  note: {
+    '@_id': '12345',
+    '@_priority': 'high',
+    to: 'Tove',
+    from: { '@_domain': 'personal', '#text': 'Jani' },
+    heading: {
+      '@_style': 'bold',
+      '#text': 'Reminder',
+    },
+    body: 'This is a special note for the weekend.',
+  },
+};
+
+const smartXml = new SmartXml();
+const complexXmlString = smartXml.createXmlFromObject(complexObject, {
+  format: true,
+});
+
+console.log(complexXmlString);
+```
+
+This example demonstrates how to add attributes (using `"@_attributeName": "value"`) and mixed content (using `"#text": "text value"`) to your objects before converting them to XML.
+
+### Conclusion
+
+The `@push.rocks/smartxml` package offers a straightforward and powerful means to work with XML in your JavaScript or TypeScript projects. By integrating it, you can easily convert between XML strings and JavaScript objects, allowing for efficient data processing and transmission in scenarios where XML is the preferred format. Whether you're building web services, APIs, or need to handle configuration files in XML, `SmartXml` offers the necessary tools to get the job done with minimal hassle.
