+### Extending Types
+
+## Extending RedisDict with Custom Types
+
+RedisDict supports custom type serialization. Here's how to add a new type:
+
+
+```python
+import json
+from redis_dict import RedisDict
+
+class Person:
+    def __init__(self, name, age):
+        self.name = name
+        self.age = age
+
+    def encode(self) -> str:
+        return json.dumps(self.__dict__)
+
+    @classmethod
+    def decode(cls, encoded_str: str) -> 'Person':
+        return cls(**json.loads(encoded_str))
+
+redis_dict = RedisDict()
+
+# Extend redis dict with the new type
+redis_dict.extends_type(Person)
+
+# RedisDict can now seamlessly handle Person instances.
+person = Person(name="John", age=32)
+redis_dict["person1"] = person
+
+result = redis_dict["person1"]
+
+assert result.name == person.name
+assert result.age == person.age
+```
+
+```python
+>>> from datetime import datetime
+>>> redis_dict.extends_type(datetime, datetime.isoformat, datetime.fromisoformat)
+>>> redis_dict["now"] = datetime.now()
+>>> redis_dict
+{'now': datetime.datetime(2024, 10, 14, 18, 41, 53, 493775)}
+>>> redis_dict["now"]
+datetime.datetime(2024, 10, 14, 18, 41, 53, 493775)
+```

 ### Tests
 The RedisDict library includes a comprehensive suite of tests that ensure its correctness and resilience. The test suite covers various data types, edge cases, and error handling scenarios. It also employs the Hypothesis library for property-based testing, which provides fuzz testing to evaluate the implementation

+
+RedisDict is a Python library that provides a convenient and familiar interface for
+interacting with Redis as if it were a Python dictionary. The simple yet powerful library
+enables you to manage key-value pairs in Redis using native Python syntax of dictionary. It supports
+various data types, including strings, integers, floats, booleans, lists, and dictionaries,
+and includes additional utility functions for more complex use cases.
+
+By leveraging Redis for efficient key-value storage, RedisDict allows for high-performance
+data management and is particularly useful for handling large datasets that may exceed local
+memory capacity.
+
+## Features
+
+* **Dictionary-like interface**: Use familiar Python dictionary syntax to interact with Redis.
+* **Data Type Support**: Comprehensive support for various data types, including strings,
+  integers, floats, booleans, lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples.
+* **Pipelining support**: Use pipelines for batch operations to improve performance.
+* **Expiration Support**: Enables the setting of expiration times either globally or individually
+  per key, through the use of context managers.
+* **Efficiency and Scalability**: RedisDict is designed for use with large datasets and is
+  optimized for efficiency. It retrieves only the data needed for a particular operation,
+  ensuring efficient memory usage and fast performance.
+* **Namespace Management**: Provides simple and efficient namespace handling to help organize
+  and manage data in Redis, streamlining data access and manipulation.
+* **Distributed Computing**: With its ability to seamlessly connect to other instances or
+  servers with access to the same Redis instance, RedisDict enables easy distributed computing.
+* **Custom data types**: Add custom types and transformations to suit your specific needs.
+
+New feature
+
+Custom extendable Validity checks on keys, and values.to support redis-dict base exceptions with messages from
+enabling detailed reporting on the reasons for specific validation failures. This refactor would allow users
+to configure which validity checks to execute, integrate custom validation functions, and specify whether
+to raise an error on validation failures or to drop the operation and log a warning.
+
+For example, in a caching scenario, data should only be cached if it falls within defined minimum and
+maximum size constraints. This approach enables straightforward dictionary set operations while ensuring
+that only meaningful data is cached: values greater than 10 MB and less than 100 MB should be cached;
+otherwise, they will be dropped.
