- * This object hosts configuration informations, as well as methods to

- * the static file (http) server as well as the socket server.
+ * The `Server` class is the main entry point for the server-side of a soundworks
+ * application.
  *
- * @memberof server
+ * The `Server` instance allows to access soundworks components such as {@link server.StateManager},
+ * {@link server.PluginManager},{@link server.Socket} or {@link server.ContextManager}.
+ * Its is also responsible for handling the initialization lifecycles of the different
+ * soundworks components.
  *
- * @param {server.ServerConfig} config
- * @example
+ * ```
  * import { Server } from '@soundworks/core/server';
+ *
  * const server = new Server({
  *   app: {
  *     name: 'my-example-app',
- *     clients: { myClient: { target: 'node' } },
+ *     clients: {
+ *       player: { target: 'browser', default: true },

- * await server.init();
+ *
  * await server.start();
+ * ```
+ *
+ * According to the clients definitions provided in `config.app.clients`, the
+ * server will automatically create a dedicated route for each browser client role.
+ * For example, given the config object of the example above that defines two
+ * different client roles for browser targets (i.e. `player` and `controller`):
+ *
+ * ```
+ * config.app.clients = {
+ *   player: { target: 'browser', default: true },
+ *   controller: { target: 'browser' },
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * The server will listen to the following URLs:
+ * - `http://127.0.0.1:8000/` for the `player` role, which is defined as the default client.
+ * - `http://127.0.0.1:8000/controller` for the `controller` role.
