-smartdata is an ODM that adheres to TypeScript practices and uses classes to organize data.
-It uses MongoDB or NeDb as persistent storage.
-
-## Intention
-There are many ODMs out there, however when we searched for an ODM that uses TypeScript,
-acts smart while still embracing the NoSQL idea we didn't find a matching solution.
-This is why we started smartdata.
-
-How MongoDB terms map to smartdata classes
-
-MongoDB term | smartdata class
---- | ---
-Database | smartdata.Db
-Collection | smartdata.DbCollection
-Document | smartdata.DbDoc
-
-### class Db
-represents a Database. Naturally it has .connect() etc. methods on it.
-Since it is a class you can have multiple DBs defined.
-```javascript
-import * as smartdata from 'smartdata'
-
-// mongodb
-let myDb1 = new smartdata.Db('someConnectionUrl')
-let myDb2 = new smartdata.Db('someConnectionUrl')
-
-// nedb
-let myDb3 = new smartdata('/some/path/for/persistence', 'nedb') // you may set first argument to null for just in memory db
-
-myDb1.connect()
-myDb2.connect()
-
-// continues in next block... 
-```
-
-### class DbCollection
-represents a collection of objects.
-A collection is defined by the object class (that is extending smartdata.dbdoc) it respresents
-
-So to get to get access to a specific collection you document
-```javascript
-// continues from the block before...
-
-@Collection(myDb1)
-class myObject extends smartdata.DbDoc<myObject> { // read the next block about DbDoc
-    @smartdata.svDb() property1: string // @smartdata.svDb() marks the property for db save
-    property2: number // this one is not marked, so it won't be save upon calling this.save() 
-    constructor(optionsArg:{
-        property1: string,
-        property2: number
-    }) {
-        super()
-    }
-}
-let myCollection = myDb1.getCollectionByName<myObject>(myObject)
-
-// start to instantiate classes from scratch or database
-``` 
-
-> Alert: You NEVER instantiate a collection.
-This is done for you!!!
-
-### class DbDoc
-represents a individual document in a collection
-and thereby is ideally suited to extend the class you want to actually store.
-
-DbDoc extends your class with the following methods:
-
-* `.save()` will save (or update) the object you call it on only. Any referenced non-savable objects will not get stored.
-* `.saveDeep()` does the same like `.save()`.
-  In addition it will look for properties that reference an object
-  that extends DbDoc as well and call .saveDeep() on them as well.
-  Loops are prevented
+## Usage
+Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
 
-So now we can **store** instances of classes to Db...
-How do we **get** a new class instance from a Doc in the DB?
+For further information read the linked docs at the top of this README.
 
-## TypeScript
-How does TypeScript play into this?
-Since you define your classes in TypeScript and types flow through smartdata in a generic way
-you should get all the Intellisense and type checking you love when using smartdata.
-smartdata itself also bundles typings.
-So you don't need to install any additional types when importing smartdata.

+## Usage
+Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+
+smartdata is an ODM that adheres to TypeScript practices and uses classes to organize data.
+It uses MongoDB or NeDb as persistent storage.
 
 ## Intention
-There are many ODMs out there, however when we searched for a ODM that uses TypeScript,
-acts smart while still embracing an easy the NoSQL idea we didn't find a matching solution.
-This is why we started smartdata

 How MongoDB terms map to smartdata classes
 
 MongoDB term | smartdata class
 --- | ---
-Database | smartdata.DbConnection
+Database | smartdata.Db
 Collection | smartdata.DbCollection
 Document | smartdata.DbDoc
 
-[![npm](https://push.rocks/assets/repo-header.svg)](https://push.rocks)
+### class Db
+represents a Database. Naturally it has .connect() etc. methods on it.
+Since it is a class you can have multiple DBs defined.
+```javascript
+import * as smartdata from 'smartdata'
+
+// mongodb
+let myDb1 = new smartdata.Db('someConnectionUrl')
+let myDb2 = new smartdata.Db('someConnectionUrl')
+
+// nedb
+let myDb3 = new smartdata('/some/path/for/persistence', 'nedb') // you may set first argument to null for just in memory db
+
+myDb1.connect()
+myDb2.connect()
+
+// continues in next block... 
+```
+
+### class DbCollection
+represents a collection of objects.
+A collection is defined by the object class (that is extending smartdata.dbdoc) it respresents
+
+So to get to get access to a specific collection you document
+```javascript
+// continues from the block before...
+
+@Collection(myDb1)
+class myObject extends smartdata.DbDoc<myObject> { // read the next block about DbDoc
+    @smartdata.svDb() property1: string // @smartdata.svDb() marks the property for db save
+    property2: number // this one is not marked, so it won't be save upon calling this.save() 
+    constructor(optionsArg:{
+        property1: string,
+        property2: number
+    }) {
+        super()
+    }
+}
+let myCollection = myDb1.getCollectionByName<myObject>(myObject)
+
+// start to instantiate classes from scratch or database
+``` 
+
+> Alert: You NEVER instantiate a collection.
+This is done for you!!!
+
+### class DbDoc
+represents a individual document in a collection
+and thereby is ideally suited to extend the class you want to actually store.
+
+DbDoc extends your class with the following methods:
+
+* `.save()` will save (or update) the object you call it on only. Any referenced non-savable objects will not get stored.
+* `.saveDeep()` does the same like `.save()`.
+  In addition it will look for properties that reference an object
+  that extends DbDoc as well and call .saveDeep() on them as well.
+  Loops are prevented
+
+So now we can **store** instances of classes to Db...
+How do we **get** a new class instance from a Doc in the DB?
+
+## TypeScript
+How does TypeScript play into this?
+Since you define your classes in TypeScript and types flow through smartdata in a generic way
+you should get all the Intellisense and type checking you love when using smartdata.
+smartdata itself also bundles typings.
+So you don't need to install any additional types when importing smartdata.
+
+For further information read the linked docs at the top of this README.
