+## Interface Examples
+
+If you have the following protobuf defined in `user.pb`:
+
+```protobuf
+message User {
+  string first_name = 1;
+  string last_name = 2;
+  bool active = 3;
+  User manager = 4;
+  repeated string locations = 5;
+  map<string, string> projects = 6;
+}
+```
+
+Using the generated `User` from ProtoScript will look like this:
+
+```typescript
+import { User, UserJSON } from "./user.pb.js";
+
+let user: User;
+
+// protocol buffers
+const bytes = User.encode({
+  firstName: "Homer",
+  lastName: "Simpson",
+  active: true,
+  locations: ["Springfield"],
+  projects: { SPP: "Springfield Power Plant" },
+  manager: {
+    firstName: "Montgomery",
+    lastName: "Burns",
+  },
+});
+console.log(bytes);
+
+user = User.decode(bytes);
+console.log(user)
+
+// json
+const json = UserJSON.encode({
+  firstName: "Homer",
+  lastName: "Simpson",
+  active: true,
+  locations: ["Springfield"],
+  projects: { SPP: "Springfield Power Plant" },
+  manager: {
+    firstName: "Montgomery",
+    lastName: "Burns",
+  },
+});
+console.log(json)
+
+user = UserJSON.decode(json);
+console.log(user);
+
+// ProtoScript generates and consumes plain JavaScript objects (POJOs) over classes. If you want to generate a full message
+// with default fields, you can use the #initialize method on the generated message class:
+
+user = User.initialize();
+console.log(user);

 ## JSON

+ProtoScript's JSON serialization/deserialization implements the [proto3 specification](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#json). If you find a discrepancy, please open an issue.
 
 ProtoScript will serialize JSON keys as `lowerCamelCase` versions of the proto field. Per the proto3 spec, the runtime will accept both `lowerCamelCase` and the original proto field name when deserializing. You can provide the `json_name` field option to specify an alternate key name. When doing so, the runtime will encode JSON messages using the the `json_name` as the key, and will decode JSON messages using the `json_name` if present, otherwise falling back to the `lowerCamelCase` name and finally to the original proto field name.
