+# ServiceStack Zig
+
+ServiceStack HTTP Client Library for Zig
+
+## Overview
+
+This library provides a simple and efficient HTTP client for interacting with ServiceStack services from Zig applications. It supports common HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) with JSON serialization.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Using Zig Package Manager
+
+Add this to your `build.zig.zon`:
+
+```zig
+.{
+    .name = "my-project",
+    .version = "0.1.0",
+    .dependencies = .{
+        .servicestack = .{
+            .url = "https://github.com/ServiceStack/servicestack-zig/archive/<commit-hash>.tar.gz",
+            .hash = "<hash>",
+        },
+    },
+}
+```
+
+Then in your `build.zig`, add the module:
+
+```zig
+const servicestack_dep = b.dependency("servicestack", .{
+    .target = target,
+    .optimize = optimize,
+});
+
+exe.root_module.addImport("servicestack", servicestack_dep.module("servicestack"));
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Example
+
+```zig
+const std = @import("std");
+const servicestack = @import("servicestack");
+
+pub fn main() !void {
+    var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
+    defer _ = gpa.deinit();
+    const allocator = gpa.allocator();
+
+    // Create a ServiceStack client
+    var client = servicestack.Client.init(allocator, "https://api.example.com");
+    defer client.deinit();
+
+    // GET request
+    const response = try client.get("/users/123");
+    defer allocator.free(response);
+    std.debug.print("Response: {s}\n", .{response});
+
+    // POST request with JSON body
+    const json_body = "{\"name\": \"John Doe\"}";
+    const post_response = try client.post("/users", json_body);
+    defer allocator.free(post_response);
+    
+    // PUT request
+    const put_response = try client.put("/users/123", json_body);
+    defer allocator.free(put_response);
+    
+    // DELETE request
+    const delete_response = try client.delete("/users/123");
+    defer allocator.free(delete_response);
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Client
+
+#### `init(allocator: std.mem.Allocator, base_url: []const u8) Client`
+
+Creates a new ServiceStack client with the specified base URL.
+
+#### `deinit(self: *Client) void`
+
+Cleans up resources used by the client.
+
+#### `get(self: *Client, path: []const u8) ![]const u8`
+
+Sends a GET request to the specified path and returns the response body.
+
+#### `post(self: *Client, path: []const u8, body: []const u8) ![]const u8`
+
+Sends a POST request with a JSON body to the specified path and returns the response body.
+
+#### `put(self: *Client, path: []const u8, body: []const u8) ![]const u8`
+
+Sends a PUT request with a JSON body to the specified path and returns the response body.
+
+#### `delete(self: *Client, path: []const u8) ![]const u8`
+
+Sends a DELETE request to the specified path and returns the response body.
+

+# Publishing to Zigistry
+
+This document describes the setup for publishing the ServiceStack Zig library to Zigistry.
+
+## Package Structure
+
+The package is structured according to Zigistry requirements:
+
+### Required Files
+
+1. **build.zig.zon** - Package metadata file
+   - Package name: `servicestack`
+   - Version: `0.1.0`
+   - Description: ServiceStack HTTP Client Library for Zig
+   - Minimum Zig version: `0.13.0`
+   - License: MIT
+   - Paths: Specifies which files are included in the package
+
+2. **build.zig** - Build configuration
+   - Defines the `servicestack` module
+   - Sets up tests with `zig build test`
+   - Provides example builds with `zig build example` and `zig build advanced`
+   - Uses standard Zig build system conventions
+
+3. **src/lib.zig** - Main library file
+   - Exports the public API
+   - Includes documentation comments
+   - Contains unit tests
+
+4. **LICENSE** - MIT License file
+
+5. **README.md** - Package documentation
+   - Installation instructions
+   - Usage examples
+   - API reference
+
+### Additional Files
+
+- **CONTRIBUTING.md** - Contributor guidelines
+- **examples/** - Example code demonstrating usage
+  - `basic.zig` - Simple examples
+  - `advanced.zig` - Comprehensive usage
+- **.github/workflows/ci.yml** - GitHub Actions CI/CD
+
+## How to Publish
+
+### Step 1: Prepare Release
+
+1. Update version in `build.zig.zon`
+2. Update README.md with any changes
+3. Ensure all tests pass: `zig build test`
+4. Commit all changes
+
+### Step 2: Create Git Tag
+
+```bash
+git tag v0.1.0
+git push origin v0.1.0
+```
+
+### Step 3: Submit to Zigistry
+
+Follow the Zigistry submission process:
+
+1. Visit [zigistry.dev](https://zigistry.dev) (when available)
+2. Submit the package with the GitHub repository URL
+3. The package manager will use the git tag to fetch the code
+4. Zigistry will calculate the hash for the tarball
+
+### Step 4: Using the Package
+
+Once published, users can add it to their projects:
+
+```zig
+// build.zig.zon
+.{
+    .name = "my-project",
+    .version = "0.1.0",
+    .dependencies = .{
+        .servicestack = .{
+            .url = "https://github.com/ServiceStack/servicestack-zig/archive/v0.1.0.tar.gz",
+            .hash = "1220...", // Hash provided by Zigistry
+        },
+    },
+}
+```
+
+## Package Features
+
+### HTTP Client
+
+The package provides a complete HTTP client for ServiceStack services:
+
+- **GET** requests
+- **POST** requests with JSON body
+- **PUT** requests with JSON body
+- **DELETE** requests
+- Automatic JSON content-type headers
+- Error handling
+- Memory management with allocators
+
+### Testing
+
+Run tests with:
+```bash
+zig build test
+```
+
+Tests include:
+- Client initialization
+- URL construction
+- Basic functionality tests
+
+### Examples
+
+Two examples are provided:
+
+1. **Basic Example** (`zig build example`)
+   - Simple GET and POST requests
+   - Basic error handling
+   
+2. **Advanced Example** (`zig build advanced`)
+   - All HTTP methods
+   - Comprehensive error handling
+   - JSON data examples
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+GitHub Actions CI is configured to:
+- Test on multiple Zig versions (0.13.0, 0.14.0)
+- Run all tests
+- Build all examples
+- Check code formatting
+
+## Versioning
+
+The package follows Semantic Versioning:
+- MAJOR version for incompatible API changes
+- MINOR version for backwards-compatible functionality
+- PATCH version for backwards-compatible bug fixes
+
+Current version: **0.1.0** (Initial release)
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+- Open an issue on GitHub
+- See CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution guidelines
+
+## License
+
+This package is released under the MIT License. See LICENSE file for details.
