 Each top-level key becomes a resource with full CRUD endpoints.
 
+Alternatively, collections can be grouped under a `_data` block:
+
+```yaml
+_data:
+  users:
+    - id: 1
+      name: Ana
+  posts:
+    - id: 1
+      title: First post
+      userId: 1
+```
+
+Both formats are equivalent. You can also mix them — if the same collection name appears both inside `_data` and at the root level, the root-level entry wins. The file is persisted in whichever format it was originally written.
+

 ## Field annotations (`_schema`)
 
 Add a `_schema` block to `db.yml` to declare field-level metadata per collection. Used by the OpenAPI generator to produce accurate schemas — has no effect on runtime CRUD behavior.
 
+All keys inside `_schema` field objects use the `_` prefix convention. Two shorthand strings are also accepted at the field level:
+
 ```yaml
 _schema:
   users:
-    name: required # shorthand: marks field as required

+### SSE streams
+
+Mock Server-Sent Events streams by adding `_method: SSE` and an `_sse` block to a `_routes` entry. Clients connect with a regular `GET` request and receive a continuous stream of events until the connection is closed.
+
+```yaml
+_routes:
+  - _method: SSE
+    _path: /events/orders
+    _sse:
+      _interval: 1500 # ms between frames (default: 1000)
+      _loop: true # restart after last event (default: true)
+      _repeat: 3 # stop after N full cycles (omit = infinite)
+      _events:
+        - _event: update
+          _data:
+            orderId: 1
+            status: processing
+        - _event: update
+          _data:
+            orderId: 1
+            status: shipped
+        - _event: done
+          _data:
+            orderId: 1

+| `_loop`     | `true`  | Restart the sequence after the last frame. Set to `false` to close after one cycle                   |
+| `_repeat`   | —       | Stop after N complete cycles and close the stream. Omit for infinite                                 |
+| `_events`   | —       | Ordered list of frames. Each entry needs `_data` (required) and optionally `_event` (SSE event name) |
+
+**Template variables** — resolved per frame at emit time, so each event gets a fresh value:
+
+```yaml
+_events:
+  - _event: tick
+    _data:
+      ts: "{{now}}" # ISO timestamp, unique per frame
+      id: "{{uuid}}" # random UUID v4
+      channel: "{{params.channel}}" # from URL params
+      filter: "{{query.filter}}" # from query string
+```
+
+**Consuming from the browser:**
+
+```js
+const es = new EventSource("http://localhost:3070/events/orders");
+
+es.addEventListener("update", (e) => console.log(JSON.parse(e.data)));
+es.addEventListener("done", (e) => {
+  console.log(JSON.parse(e.data));
+  es.close();
+});
+```
+
+**Consuming from the terminal:**
+
+```bash
+curl -N http://localhost:3070/events/orders
+```
+
+The `-N` flag disables curl's output buffering, which is required to see SSE frames as they arrive.
+
+A keep-alive comment (`: ping`) is sent every 15 s to prevent proxy timeouts. SSE routes are shown in `/_about` under their own **SSE streams** accordion with a sky-blue `SSE` badge.
