 # Checker
 
-Checker is a Go library for validating user input through checker rules provided in struct tags.
+Checker is a Go library that helps you validate user input. It can be used to validate user input stored in a struct, or to validate individual pieces of input.

+There are many validation libraries available, but I prefer to build my own tools and avoid pulling in unnecessary dependencies. That's why I created Checker, a simple validation library with no dependencies. It's easy to use and gets the job done.
+
+## Usage
+
+To get started, install the Checker library with the following command:
+
+```golang
+go get github.com/cinar/checker
+```
+
+Next, you will need to import the library into your source file. You can do this by following the example below:
+
+```golang
+import (
+    "github.com/cinar/checker"
+)
+```
+
+### Validating User Input Stored in a Struct
+
+Checker can be used in two ways. The first way is to validate user input stored in a struct. To do this, you can list the checkers through the struct tag for each field. Here is an example:
+
+```golang
+type Person struct {
+    Name string `checkers:"required"`
+}
+
+person := &Person{}
+
+mistakes, valid := checker.Check(person)
+if !valid {
+    // Send the mistakes back to the user
+}
+```
+
+### Validating Individual User Data
+
+If you do not want to validate user input stored in a struct, you can individually call the checker functions to validate the user input. Here is an example:
+
+```golang
+var name
+
+result := checker.IsRequired(name)
+if result != ResultValid {
+    // Send the result back to the user
+}
+```
+
+## Normalizers and Checkers
+
+Checkers are used to check for problems in user input, while normalizers are used to transform user input into a preferred format. For example, a normalizer could be used to trim spaces from the beginning and end of a string, or to convert a string to title case.
+
+I am not entirely happy with the decision to combine checkers and normalizers into a single library, but using them together can be useful. Normalizers and checkers can be mixed in any order when defining the validation steps for user data. For example, the trim normalizer can be used in conjunction with the required checker to first trim the user input and then check if the user provided the required information. Here is an example:
+
+```golang
+type Person struct {
+    Name string `checkers:"trim required"`
+}
+```
+
+# Checkers Provided
+
+This package currently provides the following checkers:
+
+- [required]() checks if the required value is provided.
