 Package `gocqlx` is a `gocql` extension, similar to what `sqlx` is to `database/sql`.
 
-It provides a new type that seamlessly wraps `gocql.Iter` and provide
-convenience methods which are useful in the development of database driven
-applications.  None of the underlying gocql.Iter methods are changed.
-Instead all extended behavior is implemented through new methods defined on
-wrapper type.

-The wrapper type enables you to bind iterator row into a struct. Under the

+It contains wrappers over `gocql` types that provide convenience methods which

 ## Installation
 
     go get github.com/scylladb/gocqlx
 
+## Features
+
+Read all rows into a slice.
+
+```go
+var v []*Item
+if err := gocqlx.Select(&v, session.Query(`SELECT * FROM items WHERE id = ?`, id)); err != nil {
+    log.Fatal("select failed", err)
+}
+```
+
+Read a single row into a struct.
+
+```go
+var v Item
+if err := gocqlx.Get(&v, session.Query(`SELECT * FROM items WHERE id = ?`, id)); err != nil {
+    log.Fatal("get failed", err)
+}
+```
+
+Bind named query parameters from a struct or map.
+
+```go
+stmt, names, err := gocqlx.CompileNamedQuery([]byte("INSERT INTO items (id, name) VALUES (:id, :name)"))
+if err != nil {
+    t.Fatal("compile:", err)
+}
+q := gocqlx.Queryx{
+    Query: session.Query(stmt),
+    Names: names,
+}
+if err := q.BindStruct(&Item{"id", "name"}); err != nil {
+    t.Fatal("bind:", err)
+}
+if err := q.Query.Exec(); err != nil {
+    log.Fatal("get failed", err)
+}
+```
+
