 ## About
 
+<!-- A description of the package and where one can find more documentation -->
+
 Provides high-performance and low-allocating types that serialize objects to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) text and deserialize JSON text to objects, with UTF-8 support built-in. Also provides types to read and write JSON text encoded as UTF-8, and to create an in-memory document object model (DOM), that is read-only, for random access of the JSON elements within a structured view of the data.
 
-The `System.Text.Json` library is built-in as part of the shared framework in .NET Runtime. The package can be installed when you need to use it in other target frameworks.
+## Key Features
+
+<!-- The key features of this package -->
+
+* High-performance reader and writer types for UTF-8 encoded JSON.
+* A fully-featured JSON serializer for .NET types using reflection or source generated contracts.
+* A high-performance read-only JSON DOM (JsonDocument) and a mutable DOM that interoperates with the serializer (JsonNode).
+* Built-in support for async serialization, including IAsyncEnumerable support.
+* Fully customizable contract model for serializable types.
+
+## How to Use
+
+<!-- A compelling example on how to use this package with code, as well as any specific guidelines for when to use the package -->
+
+The System.Text.Json library is built-in as part of the shared framework in .NET Runtime. The package can be installed when you need to use the most recent version in older target frameworks.
+
+Serialization:
+```csharp
+using System;
+using System.Text.Json;
+
+WeatherForecast forecast = new (DateTimeOffset.Now, 26.6f, "Sunny");
+var serialized = JsonSerializer.Serialize(forecast);
+
+Console.WriteLine(serialized);
+// {"Date":"2023-08-02T16:01:20.9025406+00:00","TemperatureCelsius":26.6,"Summary":"Sunny"}
+
+var forecastDeserialized = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<WeatherForecast>(serialized);
+Console.WriteLine(forecast == forecastDeserialized);
+// True
+
+public record WeatherForecast(DateTimeOffset Date, float TemperatureCelsius, string? Summary);
+```
+
+Serialization using the source generator:
+```csharp
+using System.Text.Json;
+using System.Text.Json.Serialization;
+
+WeatherForecast forecast = new (DateTimeOffset.Now, 26.6f, "Sunny");
+var serialized = JsonSerializer.Serialize(forecast, SourceGenerationContext.Default.WeatherForecast);
+
+Console.WriteLine(serialized);
+// {"Date":"2023-08-02T16:01:20.9025406+00:00","TemperatureCelsius":26.6,"Summary":"Sunny"}
+
+var forecastDeserialized = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<WeatherForecast>(serialized, SourceGenerationContext.Default.WeatherForecast);
+Console.WriteLine(forecast == forecastDeserialized);
+// True
+
+public record WeatherForecast(DateTimeOffset Date, float TemperatureCelsius, string? Summary);
+
+[JsonSourceGenerationOptions(WriteIndented = true)]
+[JsonSerializable(typeof(WeatherForecast))]
+internal partial class SourceGenerationContext : JsonSerializerContext
+{
+}
+```
+
+Using the JSON DOM:
+```csharp
+
+using System;
+using System.Text.Json;
+using System.Text.Json.Nodes;
+
+string jsonString =
+@"{
+  ""Date"": ""2019-08-01T00:00:00"",
+  ""Temperature"": 25,
+  ""Summary"": ""Hot"",
+  ""DatesAvailable"": [
+    ""2019-08-01T00:00:00"",
+    ""2019-08-02T00:00:00""
+  ],
+  ""TemperatureRanges"": {
+      ""Cold"": {
+          ""High"": 20,
+          ""Low"": -10
+      },
+      ""Hot"": {
+          ""High"": 60,
+          ""Low"": 20
+      }
+  }
+}
+";
+
+JsonNode forecastNode = JsonNode.Parse(jsonString)!;
+
+
+// Get value from a JsonNode.
+JsonNode temperatureNode = forecastNode["Temperature"]!;
+Console.WriteLine($"Type={temperatureNode.GetType()}");
+Console.WriteLine($"JSON={temperatureNode.ToJsonString()}");
+//output:
+//Type = System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonValue`1[System.Text.Json.JsonElement]
+//JSON = 25
+
+// Get a typed value from a JsonNode.
+int temperatureInt = (int)forecastNode["Temperature"]!;
+Console.WriteLine($"Value={temperatureInt}");
+//output:

+// Get a typed value from a JsonNode by using GetValue<T>.
+temperatureInt = forecastNode["Temperature"]!.GetValue<int>();

+
+// Get a JSON object from a JsonNode.
+JsonNode temperatureRanges = forecastNode["TemperatureRanges"]!;
+Console.WriteLine($"Type={temperatureRanges.GetType()}");
+Console.WriteLine($"JSON={temperatureRanges.ToJsonString()}");
+//output:
+//Type = System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonObject
+//JSON = { "Cold":{ "High":20,"Low":-10},"Hot":{ "High":60,"Low":20} }
+
+// Get a JSON array from a JsonNode.
+JsonNode datesAvailable = forecastNode["DatesAvailable"]!;
+Console.WriteLine($"Type={datesAvailable.GetType()}");
+Console.WriteLine($"JSON={datesAvailable.ToJsonString()}");
+//output:
+//datesAvailable Type = System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonArray
+//datesAvailable JSON =["2019-08-01T00:00:00", "2019-08-02T00:00:00"]
+
+// Get an array element value from a JsonArray.
+JsonNode firstDateAvailable = datesAvailable[0]!;
+Console.WriteLine($"Type={firstDateAvailable.GetType()}");
+Console.WriteLine($"JSON={firstDateAvailable.ToJsonString()}");
+//output:
+//Type = System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonValue`1[System.Text.Json.JsonElement]
+//JSON = "2019-08-01T00:00:00"
+
+// Get a typed value by chaining references.
+int coldHighTemperature = (int)forecastNode["TemperatureRanges"]!["Cold"]!["High"]!;
+Console.WriteLine($"TemperatureRanges.Cold.High={coldHighTemperature}");
+//output:
+//TemperatureRanges.Cold.High = 20
+
+// Parse a JSON array
+JsonNode datesNode = JsonNode.Parse(@"[""2019-08-01T00:00:00"",""2019-08-02T00:00:00""]")!;
+JsonNode firstDate = datesNode[0]!.GetValue<DateTime>();
+Console.WriteLine($"firstDate={ firstDate}");
+//output:
+//firstDate = "2019-08-01T00:00:00"
+```
