+## API Reference
+
+### Core Methods
+
+```typescript
+import { createFormBuilder } from '@dmitryvim/form-builder';
+
+// Create form instance
+const form = createFormBuilder({
+  // Required handlers
+  uploadFile: async (file: File) => string,           // Upload file, return resource ID
+  downloadFile: (resourceId: string, fileName: string) => void,
+
+  // Optional handlers
+  getThumbnail?: async (resourceId: string) => string | null, // v0.2.0: Async-only, for preview thumbnails
+  getDownloadUrl?: (resourceId: string) => string | null,     // Optional: URL for downloading full file
+  actionHandler?: (value: any, key: string, field: any) => void,
+
+  // v0.2.0: onChange events
+  onChange?: (formData: FormResult) => void,
+  onFieldChange?: (fieldPath: string, value: any, formData: FormResult) => void,
+  debounceMs?: number, // Default: 300ms
+
+  // v0.2.0: CSS theming
+  theme?: {
+    primaryColor?: string,
+    borderRadius?: string,
+    fontSize?: string,
+    fontFamily?: string,
+    // ... 39 more theme properties
+  }
+});
+
+// Render form
+form.renderForm(rootElement, schema, prefillData);
+
+// Get form data
+const result = form.getFormData(); // { valid, errors, data }
+
+// v0.2.0: Update data without re-rendering
+form.setFormData({ name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' });
+form.updateField('email', 'newemail@example.com');
+form.updateField('address.city', 'New York'); // Nested paths
+
+// Switch modes
+form.setMode('readonly'); // or 'edit'
+
+// Cleanup
+form.destroy();
+```
+
+### Migration from v0.1.x
+
+**Breaking Changes in v0.2.0:**
+
+1. **Instance-Only API** - Global static methods removed
+```typescript
+// OLD (v0.1.x)
+FormBuilder.configure({ uploadFile: async (file) => "id" });
+FormBuilder.renderForm(root, schema);
+
+// NEW (v0.2.0)
+const form = createFormBuilder({ uploadFile: async (file) => "id" });
+form.renderForm(root, schema);
+```
+
+2. **Async getThumbnail** - Must return Promise
+```typescript
+// OLD (v0.1.x)
+getThumbnail: (resourceId) => `/thumbs/${resourceId}.jpg`
+
+// NEW (v0.2.0)
+getThumbnail: async (resourceId) => `/thumbs/${resourceId}.jpg`
+```
+
+See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for complete migration details.
+
+### Theming
+
+Customize appearance with 43 theme properties:
+
+```typescript
+const form = createFormBuilder({
+  theme: {
+    // Colors
+    primaryColor: '#0066cc',
+    borderColor: '#e0e0e0',
+    errorColor: '#d32f2f',
+
+    // Typography
+    fontSize: '16px',
+    fontFamily: '"Roboto", sans-serif',
+
+    // Spacing
+    borderRadius: '4px',
+    inputPaddingX: '12px',
+
+    // Buttons
+    buttonBgColor: '#0066cc',
+    buttonTextColor: '#ffffff',
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Most Common Properties:**
+- `primaryColor` - Primary brand color
+- `borderRadius` - Border radius for inputs/buttons
+- `fontSize` - Base font size
+- `fontFamily` - Font family
+- `borderColor` - Input border color
+
+No `!important` overrides needed. See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for all 43 properties.
+
+### File Handling
+
+The form builder provides flexible file handling with separate hooks for uploads, downloads, and previews:
+
+```typescript
+const form = createFormBuilder({
+  // Required: Upload handler
+  uploadFile: async (file) => {
+    const formData = new FormData();
+    formData.append('file', file);
+    const response = await fetch('/api/upload', {
+      method: 'POST',
+      body: formData
+    });
+    const data = await response.json();
+    return data.resourceId; // Return unique resource ID
+  },
+
+  // Required: Download handler
+  downloadFile: (resourceId, fileName) => {
+    // Option 1: Direct download
+    window.open(`/api/files/${resourceId}/download`, '_blank');
+
+    // Option 2: Programmatic download
+    fetch(`/api/files/${resourceId}/download`)
+      .then(response => response.blob())
+      .then(blob => {
+        const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
+        const a = document.createElement('a');
+        a.href = url;
+        a.download = fileName;
+        a.click();
+        URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
+      });
+  },
+
+  // Optional: Thumbnail URLs for preview (async-only in v0.2.0)
+  getThumbnail: async (resourceId) => {
+    const response = await fetch(`/api/files/${resourceId}/thumbnail`);
+    const data = await response.json();
+    return data.thumbnailUrl; // Return URL or null
+  },
+
+  // Optional: Full file download URL (used instead of getThumbnail for downloads)
+  getDownloadUrl: (resourceId) => {
+    return `/api/files/${resourceId}/download`;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Handler Priority for Downloads:**
+
+When a user clicks the download button in readonly mode, the form builder uses this priority:
+
+1. **`getDownloadUrl`** - If provided, this URL is used for downloads
+2. **`getThumbnail`** - If `getDownloadUrl` is not provided, falls back to thumbnail URL
+3. **`downloadFile`** - If neither URL hook is provided, calls the download handler
+
+**Use Cases:**
+
+- **Separate thumbnail and download URLs**: Provide both `getThumbnail` (for optimized previews) and `getDownloadUrl` (for full files)
+- **Same URL for both**: Provide only `getThumbnail` if thumbnail URL is also the download URL
+- **Programmatic download**: Provide only `downloadFile` for custom download logic
