+
+## Features
+
+- Complete Asterisk ARI support
+- Written in TypeScript with full type support
+- WebSocket support for real-time events
+- Automatic reconnection management
+- Simplified channel and playback handling
+- ESM and CommonJS support
+- Complete type documentation
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @ipcom/asterisk-ari
+```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+```typescript
+import { AriClient } from '@ipcom/asterisk-ari';
+
+const client = new AriClient({
+  host: 'localhost',      // Asterisk host
+  port: 8088,            // ARI port
+  username: 'username',   // ARI username
+  password: 'password',   // ARI password
+  secure: false          // Use true for HTTPS/WSS
+});
+```
+
+### WebSocket Connection
+
+```typescript
+// Connect to WebSocket to receive events
+await client.connectWebSocket(['myApp']); // 'myApp' is your application name
+
+// Listen for specific events
+client.on('StasisStart', event => {
+  console.log('New channel started:', event.channel.id);
+});
+
+client.on('StasisEnd', event => {
+  console.log('Channel ended:', event.channel.id);
+});
+
+// Listen for DTMF events
+client.on('ChannelDtmfReceived', event => {
+  console.log('DTMF received:', event.digit);
+});
+
+// Close WebSocket connection
+client.closeWebSocket();
+```
+
+### Channel Handling
+
+```typescript
+// Create a channel instance
+const channel = client.Channel();
+
+// Originate a call
+await channel.originate({
+  endpoint: 'PJSIP/1000',
+  extension: '1001',
+  context: 'default',
+  priority: 1
+});
+
+// Answer a call
+await channel.answer();
+
+// Play audio
+const playback = await channel.play({
+  media: 'sound:welcome'
+});
+
+// Hangup the channel
+await channel.hangup();
+```
+
+### Playback Handling
+
+```typescript
+// Create a playback instance
+const playback = client.Playback();
+
+// Monitor playback events
+playback.on('PlaybackStarted', event => {
+  console.log('Playback started:', event.playback.id);
+});
+
+playback.on('PlaybackFinished', event => {
+  console.log('Playback finished:', event.playback.id);
+});
+
+// Control playback
+await playback.control('pause');  // Pause
+await playback.control('unpause'); // Resume
+await playback.control('restart'); // Restart
+await playback.stop();            // Stop
+```
+
+### Specific Channel Monitoring
+
+```typescript
+// Create an instance for a specific channel
+const channel = client.Channel('channel-id');
+
+// Monitor specific channel events
+channel.on('ChannelStateChange', event => {
+  console.log('Channel state changed:', event.channel.state);
+});
+
+channel.on('ChannelDtmfReceived', event => {
+  console.log('DTMF received on channel:', event.digit);
+});
+
+// Get channel details
+const details = await channel.getDetails();
+console.log('Channel details:', details);
+
+// Handle channel variables
+await channel.getVariable('CALLERID');
+await channel.setVariable('CUSTOM_VAR', 'value');
+```
+
+### Channel Playback Handling
+
+```typescript
+// Play audio on a specific channel
+const channel = client.Channel('channel-id');
+const playback = await channel.play({
+  media: 'sound:welcome',
+  lang: 'en'
+});
+
+// Monitor specific playback
+playback.on('PlaybackStarted', event => {
+  console.log('Playback started on channel');
+});
+
+// Control playback
+await channel.stopPlayback(playback.id);
+await channel.pausePlayback(playback.id);
+await channel.resumePlayback(playback.id);
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  await client.connectWebSocket(['myApp']);
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('Error connecting to WebSocket:', error);
+}
+
+// Using with async/await
+try {
+  const channel = client.Channel();
+  await channel.originate({
+    endpoint: 'PJSIP/1000'
+  });
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('Error originating call:', error);
+}
+```
+
+## TypeScript Support
+
+The library provides complete type definitions for all operations:
+
+```typescript
+import type { 
+  Channel, 
+  ChannelEvent, 
+  WebSocketEvent 
+} from '@ipcom/asterisk-ari';
+
+// Types will be available for use
+const handleChannelEvent = (event: ChannelEvent) => {
+  const channelId: string = event.channel.id;
+};
+```
+
+## Additional Features
+
+The library provides access to many other ARI features:
+
+- Bridge management
+- Endpoint handling
+- Sound manipulation
+- Application control
+- Asterisk system information
+- And much more...
+
+## Advanced Examples
+
+### Bridge Creation and Channel Management
+
+```typescript
+// Create and manage a bridge
+const bridge = await client.bridges.createBridge({
+  type: 'mixing',
+  name: 'myBridge'
+});
+
+// Add channels to bridge
+await client.bridges.addChannels(bridge.id, {
+  channel: ['channel-id-1', 'channel-id-2']
+});
+```
+
+### Recording Management
+
+```typescript
+// Start recording on a channel
+const channel = client.Channel('channel-id');
+await channel.record({
+  name: 'recording-name',
+  format: 'wav',
+  maxDurationSeconds: 60,
+  beep: true
+});
+```
+
+### External Media
+
+```typescript
+// Create external media channel
+const channel = await client.channels.createExternalMedia({
+  app: 'myApp',
+  external_host: 'media-server:8088',
+  format: 'slin16'
+});
+```
