+[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/non-empty-string.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/non-empty-string)
+[![Documentation](https://docs.rs/non-empty-string/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/non-empty-string/)
+
 A simple wrapper type for `String`s that ensures that the string inside is not `.empty()`, meaning that the length > 0.
 
+## Example
+
+```rust
+use non_empty_string::NonEmptyString;
+
+// Constructing it from a normal (non-zero-length) String works fine.
+let s = "A string with a length".to_owned();
+assert!(NonEmptyString::new(s).is_ok());
+
+// But constructing it from a non-zero-length String results in an `Err`, where we get the `String` back that we passed in.
+let empty = "".to_owned();
+let result = NonEmptyString::new(empty);
+assert!(result.is_err());
+assert_eq!(result.unwrap_err(), "".to_owned())
+
+```
+
+## Methods of std::string::String
+`NonEmptyString` implements a subset of the functions of `std::string::String`, only the ones which are guaranteed to leave the `NonEmptyString` in a valid state.
+This means i.e. `push()` is implemented, but `pop()` is not.
+
+This allows you to mostly treat it as a String without having to constantly turn it into the inner `String` before you can do any sort of operation on it and then having to reconstruct a `NonEmptyString` afterwards.
+
+
+## Serde Support
+
+[serde] support is available behind the `serde` feature flag:
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
+non-empty-string = { version = "*", features = ["serde"]}
+```
+
+Afterwards you can use it in a struct:
+```rust
+use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
+use non_empty_string::NonEmptyString;
+
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
+struct MyApiObject {
+  username: NonEmptyString,
+}
+```
+
+Deserialization will fail if the field is present as a String, but the length of the `String` is 0.
