+# Springdoc OpenAPI Programmatic Documentation library
+
+![Code Soapbox logo](readme-images/logo.png)
+
+## Introduction
+
+This library is an extension for *Springdoc OpenAPI* which allows for defining OpenAPI 3.0 schema using code.
+
+However, while it was developed with *Springdoc OpenAPI* in mind, **you can apply this solution to any
+Spring Boot OpenAPI library based on Spring Core**.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Add a dependency on `springdoc-openapi-programmatic-documentation`:
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+  <groupId>com.danielfrak.code</groupId>
+  <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-programmatic-documentation</artifactId>
+  <version>1.0.1</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+2. Inject a `ModelDocumentation` instance in a `@configuration` class and use it to add a new schema:
+
+```java
+import io.swagger.v3.oas.models.media.Schema;
+import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
+import com.danielfrak.code.config.openapi.ModelDocumentation;
+import com.danielfrak.code.config.openapi.ModelDocumentation.Model;
+import com.danielfrak.code.model.MyValueObject;
+
+@Configuration
+public class OpenApiConfig {
+
+    public OpenApiConfig(ModelDocumentation modelDocumentation) {
+        modelDocumentation
+                .add(new DocumentedModel()
+                        .source(MyValueObject.class)
+                        .implementation(String.class)
+                        .schema(new Schema<>()
+                                .example("Example value")
+                                .description("Base description")));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## DocumentedModel fields
+
+* `source` - the class to document
+* `implementation` - equivalent to the `implementation` on `@io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.media.Schema`
+* `schema` - an `io.swagger.v3.oas.models.media.Schema` instance to serve as the final schema for the source class
