+# @dfinity/didc
+
+A multi-purpose Candid tool for JavaScript projects, including encoding and decoding Candid values. 
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+import { getServiceMethods, encode, decode } from "@dfinity/didc";
+
+// The IDL in text format to be used, most canisters expose their IDL through
+// the `candid:service` public metadata.
+//
+// You can fetch the IDL with an agent call or dfx with `dfx canister metadata <canisterId> candid:service`
+export const IDL = `
+  type StoreNumberInput = record {
+    number : nat64;
+  };
+
+  service : {
+    store_number : (input : StoreNumberInput) -> ();
+    get_number : () -> (nat64) query;
+  };
+`;
+
+// Gets the service methods from the IDL and returns an array of the methods.
+//
+// Example returned value: ['store_number', 'get_number']
+const methods = getServiceMethods(IDL);
+
+// Encodes a candid text representation of a value to a hex representation.
+//
+// Example returned value: '4449444c016c01c98dea8b0a7801005a00000000000000'
+const encoded encode({
+  idl: IDL,
+  input: "(record { number=90; })",
+  serviceMethod: "store_number",
+  targetFormat: "hex",
+});
+
+// Decodes a hex representation of a candid value to a text representation.
+//
+// Example returned value: '(90 : nat64)'
+const decoded = decode({
+  idl: IDL,
+  input: "4449444c0001785a00000000000000",
+  serviceMethod: "get_number",
+  inputFormat: "hex",
+  targetFormat: "candid",
+});
+```
+
+### Web Usage
+
+For web usage, you need to initialize the async wasm module before using the functions.
+
+```javascript
+import init, { encode } from "@dfinity/didc";
+
+await init();
+
+// then you can use the functions because the wasm will be initialized
+const encoded = encode({
+  idl: IDL,
+  input: "(record { number=90; })",
+  serviceMethod: "store_number",
+  targetFormat: "hex",
+});
+```
