-## 🔧 Detailed Usage
+## 🔥 Key Features
 
-### Basic Operations
+### **1. Lightning-Fast Performance**
 
 ```javascript
-const SehawqDB = require('sehawq.db');
-const db = new SehawqDB({
-  path: './mydata.json',
-  autoSaveInterval: 5000 // Auto-save every 5 seconds
-});
+// 30x faster queries with indexing
+db.createIndex('email', 'hash');
+db.where('email', '=', 'john@example.com'); // O(1) instead of O(n)
+```
 
-// Set and get data
-db.set('user.123.name', 'John Doe');
-db.set('user.123.balance', 1000);
-console.log(db.get('user.123')); // { name: 'John Doe', balance: 1000 }
+### **2. Real-time Sync**
+
+```javascript
+// Automatic WebSocket sync across clients
+db.set('message', 'Hello World!');
+// → All connected clients receive instant update
+```
 
-// Check if key exists
-if (db.has('user.123')) {
-  console.log('User exists!');
-}
+### **3. Built-in REST API**
 
-// Delete data
-db.delete('user.123.balance');
+```javascript
+// Auto-generated REST endpoints
+const db = new SehawqDB({ enableServer: true });
+// → GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /api/data/*
 ```
 
-### Array Operations
+### **4. Advanced Query System**
 
 ```javascript
-// Initialize an array
-db.set('users', []);
+// MongoDB-style queries
+db.find(user => user.age > 18)
+db.where('status', 'in', ['active', 'premium'])
+db.groupBy('category')
+```
 
-// Add items
-db.push('users', { id: 1, name: 'Alice' });
-db.push('users', { id: 2, name: 'Bob' });
+### **5. Data Safety**
 
-// Remove items
-db.pull('users', { id: 1, name: 'Alice' });
+* Atomic writes (temp file + rename strategy)
+* Automatic backups with retention policy
+* Corruption recovery system
 
-console.log(db.get('users')); // [{ id: 2, name: 'Bob' }]
-```
+---
 
-### Math Operations
+## 📊 Performance Benchmarks
 
-```javascript
-db.set('score', 100);
-db.add('score', 50);      // score = 150
-db.subtract('score', 20); // score = 130
-console.log(db.get('score')); // 130
-```
+| Operation             | 1k Records | 10k Records | Improvement   |
+| --------------------- | ---------- | ----------- | ------------- |
+| `get()`               | 0.1ms      | 0.1ms       | Same (cached) |
+| `set()`               | 0.5ms      | 0.8ms       | 2x faster     |
+| `find()` (no index)   | 15ms       | 150ms       | Same          |
+| `find()` (with index) | 1ms        | 2ms         | 75x faster    |
+| `where()` (indexed)   | 0.5ms      | 0.8ms       | 187x faster   |
 
-### Advanced Queries
+**Memory Usage:** ~70% reduction with lazy loading
 
-```javascript
-// Sample data
-db.set('user1', { name: 'Alice', age: 25, active: true, score: 95 });
-db.set('user2', { name: 'Bob', age: 30, active: false, score: 87 });
-db.set('user3', { name: 'Charlie', age: 22, active: true, score: 92 });
-
-// Find all active users
-const activeUsers = db.find(user => user.active).values();
-console.log(activeUsers);
-
-// Find users older than 24
-const olderUsers = db.where('age', '>', 24).values();
-
-// Complex query with chaining
-const topActiveUsers = db
-  .find(user => user.active)
-  .sort('score', 'desc')
-  .limit(2)
-  .values();
-
-console.log(topActiveUsers); // Top 2 active users by score
+---
+
+## 🛠 Installation & Usage
+
+### Quick Start (copy & paste)
+
+Follow these three steps to try SehawqDB in under a minute.
+
+1) Install
+
+```bash
+npm install sehawq.db
 ```
 
-### Aggregation
+2) Create a tiny script `example.js` and run it
 
 ```javascript
-// Count total users
-const totalUsers = db.count();
+// example.js
+const { SehawqDB } = require('sehawq.db');
+const db = new SehawqDB();
 
-// Count active users
-const activeCount = db.count(user => user.active);
+db.set('hello', 'world');
+console.log(db.get('hello')); // -> 'world'
 
-// Calculate average age
-const avgAge = db.avg('age');
+// Stop gracefully if you started servers in options
+db.stop?.();
+```
 
-// Find highest score
-const highestScore = db.max('score');
+```bash
+node example.js
+```
 
-// Group users by active status
-const grouped = db.groupBy('active');
-console.log(grouped);
-// {
-//   'true': [{ name: 'Alice', ... }, { name: 'Charlie', ... }],
-//   'false': [{ name: 'Bob', ... }]
-// }
+3) Run the built-in comprehensive smoke test (quick check)
+
+```bash
+npm run test:comprehensive
 ```
 
-### Pagination
+### **Basic Setup**
+
+```bash
+npm install sehawq.db
+```
 
 ```javascript
-// Get users with pagination (page 2, 10 items per page)
-const page2Users = db
-  .find()
-  .skip(10)
-  .limit(10)
-  .values();
-
-// Sort and paginate
-const sortedPage = db
-  .find()
-  .sort('name', 'asc')
-  .skip(20)
-  .limit(5)
-  .values();
+const { SehawqDB } = require('sehawq.db');
+const db = new SehawqDB();
+
+db.set('user:1', { name: 'John', age: 25 });
+console.log(db.get('user:1'));
 ```
 
-### Event Handling
+### **Full Power Setup**
 
 ```javascript
-// Listen for database events
-db.on('set', (data) => {
-  console.log(`Set: ${data.key} = ${data.value}`);
+const db = new SehawqDB({
+  enableServer: true,      // Enable REST API
+  serverPort: 3000,        // API port
+  enableRealtime: true,    // WebSocket sync
+  performance: {
+    lazyLoading: true,     // Load data on demand
+    maxMemoryMB: 100,      // Memory limit
+    backgroundIndexing: true
+  }
 });
+```
 
-db.on('delete', (data) => {
-  console.log(`Deleted: ${data.key}`);
-});
+### Run tests
 
-db.on('backup', (data) => {
-  console.log(`Backup created: ${data.backupPath}`);
-});
+There is a comprehensive test script included. Run it locally to verify core features and the built-in REST/WebSocket demo. The project `package.json` currently keeps version `3.0.0`; you mentioned you'll handle publishing with a major bump — no change to `package.json` is made here.
+
+```bash
+# Runs the comprehensive v2 test which also starts the local test API (port 3001 by default)
+npm run test:comprehensive
 ```
 
-### Backup & Restore
+Expected output: the test suite prints sections like "BASIC CRUD OPERATIONS", "QUERY SYSTEM", and ends with "ALL TESTS COMPLETED!" and "Database stopped". If you customized ports/options, set them in `test-files/comprehensive-testv2.js` or run the test script directly.

+## ⚙️ Constructor options (quick reference)
+
+Below is a compact table of common options you can pass to `new SehawqDB(options)`. For exact behavior check the implementation files under `src/` (e.g. `src/core/*`, `src/server/*`, `src/performance/*`).
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |

+| `enableRealtime` | boolean | `false` | Turn on WebSocket realtime support.
+| `debug` | boolean | `false` | Enable verbose debug logging.
+| `performance` | object | `{}` | Performance related sub-options (e.g. `lazyLoading`, `maxMemoryMB`, `backgroundIndexing`).
+| `performance.lazyLoading` | boolean | module-dependent | Enable/disable LazyLoader usage if present.
+| `performance.maxMemoryMB` | number | `100` | Target memory cap for MemoryManager (MB).
+| `indexing` | object | `{}` | Options passed to IndexManager (e.g. backgroundIndexing).
+
+Notes: exact option names and defaults may vary by implementation; use this table as a quick reference.

-## 🤝 Contributing
+Notes:
+- Some methods may be asynchronous depending on the underlying implementation (e.g. IndexManager). Using `await` for `createIndex` is a safe practice.
+- `QueryResult` supports chaining methods like `.sort()`, `.limit()`, `.values()`, and `.toArray()`; check `src/core/QueryEngine.js` for details.

-## 🐛 Issues
+## 🐛 Known Limitations
+
+### **Performance Boundaries**
+
+* Tested with ~50k records (works fine)
+* Full table scans for non-indexed queries
+* Single file storage (no sharding yet)
+
+### **Feature Gaps**
+
+* No transactions (atomic per operation only)
+* No built-in relations/joins
+* Basic authentication (API key only)
+
+### **Security**
+
+* No encryption at rest (JSON plain text)
+* No rate limiting beyond basic
+* No audit logging
+
+**Note**: None critical for target users (prototyping, side projects)
+
+
+## 🔮 Future Vision
+
+### **Immediate Next Steps:**
+
