 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.4.0] - 2025-01-25
+
+### Added
+- **Semantic Generator Syntax**: Complete rewrite of resource generator with JSON:API-focused field categorization
+  - `attribute:field` - Explicit JSON:API attribute definition
+  - `meta:field` - Explicit JSON:API meta attribute definition  
+  - `has_many:resource` - Shorthand relationship syntax
+  - `relationship:type:field` - Explicit relationship syntax
+- **Improved Developer Experience**: More intuitive and semantic generator approach focused on JSON:API concepts rather than database types
+
+### Enhanced
+- **Generator Logic**: Refactored generator into cleaner, more maintainable methods with proper separation of concerns
+- **Backward Compatibility**: Legacy `field:type` syntax fully preserved - existing usage continues to work unchanged
+- **Code Quality**: Fixed all RuboCop violations in generator code with improved method structure
+- **Test Coverage**: Comprehensive test suite covering semantic syntax, legacy compatibility, and all feature combinations
+
+### Improved
+- **Generator Syntax**: Replaced meaningless database types (`name:string`) with semantic JSON:API categorization (`attribute:name`)
+- **Documentation**: README completely updated to showcase new semantic approach with comprehensive examples
+- **Generator Help**: Updated help text and banners to reflect new semantic syntax
+
+### Technical Details
+- Generator automatically categorizes fields based on semantic prefixes
+- Auto-detection of common meta attributes (`created_at`, `updated_at`, etc.) preserved
+- Relationship inference and resource class detection maintained
+- All 373 tests pass with 95.97% coverage maintained
+
+### Migration Guide
+- **New syntax (recommended)**: `rails generate jpie:resource User attribute:name meta:created_at has_many:posts`
+- **Legacy syntax (still works)**: `rails generate jpie:resource User name:string created_at:datetime --relationships=has_many:posts`
+- No breaking changes - existing generators continue to work as before

 That's it! You now have a fully functional JSON:API compliant server.
 
+## Generators
+
+JPie includes a resource generator for quickly creating new resource classes with proper JSON:API structure.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+The generator uses semantic field definitions that explicitly categorize each field by its JSON:API purpose:
+
+```bash
+# Generate a basic resource with semantic syntax
+rails generate jpie:resource User attribute:name attribute:email meta:created_at
+
+# Shorthand for relationships
+rails generate jpie:resource Post attribute:title attribute:content has_many:comments has_one:author
+
+# Mix explicit categorization with auto-detection
+rails generate jpie:resource User attribute:name email created_at updated_at
+```
+
+**Generated file:**
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class UserResource < JPie::Resource
+  attributes :name, :email
+
+  meta_attributes :created_at, :updated_at
+
+  has_many :comments
+  has_one :author
+end
+```
+
+### Semantic Field Syntax
+
+The generator uses a semantic approach focused on JSON:API concepts rather than database types:
+
+| Syntax | Purpose | Example |
+|--------|---------|---------|
+| `attribute:field` | Regular JSON:API attribute | `attribute:name` |
+| `meta:field` | JSON:API meta attribute | `meta:created_at` |
+| `has_many:resource` | JSON:API relationship | `has_many:posts` |
+| `has_one:resource` | JSON:API relationship | `has_one:profile` |
+| `relationship:type:resource` | Explicit relationship | `relationship:has_many:posts` |
+
+### Advanced Examples
+
+##### Comprehensive Resource
+
+```bash
+rails generate jpie:resource Article \
+  attribute:title \
+  attribute:content \
+  meta:published_at \
+  meta:created_at \
+  meta:updated_at \
+  has_one:author \
+  has_many:comments \
+  has_many:tags \
+  --model=Post
+```
+
+**Generated file:**
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class ArticleResource < JPie::Resource
+  model Post
+
+  attributes :title, :content
+
+  meta_attributes :published_at, :created_at, :updated_at
+
+  has_one :author
+  has_many :comments
+  has_many :tags
+end
+```
+
+##### Empty Resource Template
+
+```bash
+rails generate jpie:resource User
+```
+
+**Generated file:**
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class UserResource < JPie::Resource
+  # Define your attributes here:
+  # attributes :name, :email, :title
+
+  # Define your meta attributes here:
+  # meta_attributes :created_at, :updated_at
+
+  # Define your relationships here:
+  # has_many :posts
+  # has_one :user
+end
+```
+
+### Legacy Syntax Support
+
+The generator maintains backward compatibility with the Rails-style `field:type` syntax, but ignores the type portion:
+
+```bash
+# Legacy syntax (still works, types ignored)
+rails generate jpie:resource User name:string email:string created_at:datetime
+```
+
+This generates the same output as the semantic syntax, with automatic detection of meta attributes based on common field names.
+
+### Generator Options
+
+| Option | Type | Description | Example |
+|--------|------|-------------|---------|
+| `--model=NAME` | String | Specify model class (overrides inference) | `--model=Person` |
+| `--skip-model` | Boolean | Skip explicit model declaration | `--skip-model` |
+
+### Automatic Features
+
+- **Model Inference**: Automatically infers model class from resource name
+- **Resource Inference**: Automatically infers related resource classes for relationships
+- **Meta Detection**: Auto-detects common meta attributes (`created_at`, `updated_at`, etc.)
+- **Clean Output**: Generates well-structured, commented resource files
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Use semantic syntax** for clarity and JSON:API-appropriate thinking
+2. **Be explicit about categorization** when the intent might be unclear
+3. **Let JPie handle inference** for standard naming conventions
+4. **Use `--model` only when necessary** for non-standard model mappings
+
