+Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

-// Load metadata from bytes
-let metadata = FileMeta::load(&xl_meta_bytes)?;
-
-// Access version information

+```toml
+[dependencies]
+rustfs-filemeta = "0.1.0"
 ```

-### Advanced Usage
+## 🔧 Usage
+
+### Basic Metadata Operations

 ```rust
-use rustfs_filemeta::file_meta::FileMeta;
+use rustfs_filemeta::{FileInfo, XLMeta};
+use std::collections::HashMap;

-// Load with validation
-let mut metadata = FileMeta::load(&xl_meta_bytes)?;
+fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Create file metadata
+    let mut file_info = FileInfo::new();
+    file_info.name = "example.txt".to_string();
+    file_info.size = 1024;
+    file_info.mod_time = chrono::Utc::now();

-// Validate integrity
-metadata.validate_integrity()?;
+    // Add custom metadata
+    let mut user_defined = HashMap::new();
+    user_defined.insert("author".to_string(), "john@example.com".to_string());
+    user_defined.insert("department".to_string(), "engineering".to_string());
+    file_info.user_defined = user_defined;

-// Check xl format compatibility
-if metadata.is_compatible_with_meta() {
-    println!("Compatible with xl format");
-}
+    // Create XL metadata
+    let xl_meta = XLMeta::new(file_info);

-// Get version statistics
-let stats = metadata.get_version_stats();
-println!("Total versions: {}", stats.total_versions);
-println!("Object versions: {}", stats.object_versions);
-println!("Delete markers: {}", stats.delete_markers);
-```
+    // Serialize metadata
+    let serialized = xl_meta.serialize()?;

-### Working with FileInfo
+    // Deserialize metadata
+    let deserialized = XLMeta::deserialize(&serialized)?;

-```rust
-use rustfs_filemeta::fileinfo::FileInfo;
-use rustfs_filemeta::file_meta::FileMetaVersion;
+    println!("File: {}, Size: {}", deserialized.file_info.name, deserialized.file_info.size);

-// Convert FileInfo to metadata version
-let file_info = FileInfo::new("bucket", "object.txt");
-let meta_version = FileMetaVersion::from(file_info);
-
-// Add version to metadata
-metadata.add_version(file_info)?;
-```
-
-## Data Structures
-
-### FileMeta
-The main metadata container that holds all versions and inline data:
-
-```rust
-pub struct FileMeta {
-    pub versions: Vec<FileMetaShallowVersion>,
-    pub data: InlineData,
-    pub meta_ver: u8,
+    Ok(())
 }
 ```

-### FileMetaVersion
-Represents a single object version:
+### Advanced Metadata Management

 ```rust
-pub struct FileMetaVersion {
-    pub version_type: VersionType,
-    pub object: Option<MetaObject>,
-    pub delete_marker: Option<MetaDeleteMarker>,
-    pub write_version: u64,
+use rustfs_filemeta::{XLMeta, FileInfo, VersionInfo};
+
+async fn advanced_metadata_example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Create versioned metadata
+    let mut xl_meta = XLMeta::new(FileInfo::default());
+
+    // Set version information
+    xl_meta.set_version_info(VersionInfo {
+        version_id: "v1.0.0".to_string(),
+        is_latest: true,
+        delete_marker: false,
+        restore_ongoing: false,
+    });
+
+    // Add checksums
+    xl_meta.add_checksum("md5", "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e");
+    xl_meta.add_checksum("sha256", "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855");
+
+    // Set object tags
+    xl_meta.set_tags(vec![
+        ("Environment".to_string(), "Production".to_string()),
+        ("Owner".to_string(), "DataTeam".to_string()),
+    ]);
+
+    // Set retention information
+    xl_meta.set_retention_info(
+        chrono::Utc::now() + chrono::Duration::days(365),
+        "GOVERNANCE".to_string(),
+    );
+
+    // Validate metadata
+    xl_meta.validate()?;
+
+    Ok(())
 }
 ```

-### MetaObject
-Contains object-specific metadata including erasure coding information:
+### Inline Metadata Operations

 ```rust
-pub struct MetaObject {
-    pub version_id: Option<Uuid>,
-    pub data_dir: Option<Uuid>,
-    pub erasure_algorithm: ErasureAlgo,
-    pub erasure_m: usize,
-    pub erasure_n: usize,
-    // ... additional fields
+use rustfs_filemeta::{InlineMetadata, MetadataSize};
+
+fn inline_metadata_example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Create inline metadata for small files
+    let mut inline_meta = InlineMetadata::new();
+
+    // Set basic properties
+    inline_meta.set_content_type("text/plain");
+    inline_meta.set_content_encoding("gzip");
+    inline_meta.set_cache_control("max-age=3600");
+
+    // Add custom headers
+    inline_meta.add_header("x-custom-field", "custom-value");
+    inline_meta.add_header("x-app-version", "1.2.3");
+
+    // Check if metadata fits inline storage
+    if inline_meta.size() <= MetadataSize::INLINE_THRESHOLD {
+        println!("Metadata can be stored inline");
+    } else {
+        println!("Metadata requires separate storage");
+    }
+
+    // Serialize for storage
+    let bytes = inline_meta.to_bytes()?;
+
+    // Deserialize from storage
+    let restored = InlineMetadata::from_bytes(&bytes)?;
+
+    Ok(())
 }
 ```
