+## Getting Started
 
-## Usage
+### Basic usage
+
+There are two ways of defining an schema, using the Schema and the InputItem objects or using an DictValidator to define the schema directly. On both methods you can chain multiple validation methods
+
+#### Validation using the Schema and InputItem objects
 
 You define and create schema objects with its inputs and validation methods. Then use the verify method to check the schema. A ValidationError will be raised if some input value does not match the validation.

+## API
+
+### String validation
+
+#### email
+
+Validates the value as an email address.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.string().email()
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"string": StringValidator().email(),
+})
+```
+
+#### min
+
+Set a minimum length limit for the string value.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.string().min(8)
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"string": StringValidator().min(8),
+})
+```
+
+#### max
+
+Set a maximum length limit for the string value.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.string().max(10)
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"string": StringValidator().max(10),
+})
+```
+
+### Number validation
+
+#### min
+
+Set the minimum value allowed.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.number().min(5)
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"number": NumericValidator().min(5),
+})
+```
+
+#### max
+
+Set the maximum value allowed.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.number().max(10)
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"number": NumericValidator().max(10),
+})
+```
+
+### Array validation
+
+#### of
+
+Specify the schema of iterable elements.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.array().of(NumericValidator().required())
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"array": ArrayValidator().of(
+		NumericValidator().required()
+	),
+})
+```
+
+#### includes
+
+Requires the iterable to have a defined value as one of its values.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.array().includes("value")
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"array": ArrayValidator().includes("value"),
+})
+```
+
+#### len
+
+Set a specific length requirement for the iterable.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.array().len(3)
+])

+	"array": ArrayValidator().len(3),
+})
+```
+
+#### min
+
+Set a minimum length limit for the iterable.
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+

+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.array().min(5)
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"array": ArrayValidator().min(5),
+})
+```
+
+#### max
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.array().max(5)
+])
+```
+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
+schema = DictValidator().shape({
+	"array": ArrayValidator().max(5),
+})
+```
+
+Set a minimum length limit for the iterable.
+
+### Dict validation
+
+#### shape
+
+Define the keys of the dict and the schemas for said keys
+
+```python
+# Example using the Schema and InputItem objects.
+
+schema = Schema([
+	InputItem("name", input_object, "path-to-input_object-value-property-or-method")
+		.dict().shape({ "value": StringValidator().required() })
+])

+
+```python
+# Example using the DictValidator.
+
