-I'll get back to this when Odin is more mature, I've ran into countless compiler seg faults and can't be bothered to find out why anymore.
+# HTTP 1/1 server library
+
+## Routing rules
+- Static first routing
+- Path variables defined with `:foo`
+- Example: `/odin/:version/download`
+- Wild card routing not implemented
+
+## Compile time user errors included
+When defining the server you can pass a custom error type for the server. 
+All the handler function will, of course, need to return these in as a pair with a response.
+
+## Memory allocation
+The server will free the context temp allocators memory after the handler is run, thus, you are free
+to use `context.temp_allocator` within your handlers and expect the memory to be freed after. 
+This becomes useful when you want to pass the response back to the server but is also ergonomic
+if you find yourself in need of a temp allocator in your handlers.
+
+## Example
+
+```odin
+package main
+
+import "core:log"
+import "core:net"
+import "core:strings"
+import fjord "fjord"
+import http "fjord/http"
+
+// Handler for GET /hello/:name
+hello_handler :: proc(request: ^http.Request) -> (http.Response, Error) {
+    name := request.path_variables["name"]
+
+    body := strings.concatenate(
+        {"<h1>Hello, ", name, "!</h1>"},
+        context.temp_allocator,
+    )
+
+    response := http.make_response(
+        .Ok,
+        transmute([]byte)body,
+        .Html,
+        context.temp_allocator,
+    )
+
+    return response, nil
+}
+
+// Handler for GET /users/:id/posts/:post_id
+user_post_handler :: proc(request: ^http.Request) -> (http.Response, Error) {
+    user_id := request.path_variables["id"]

+        transmute([]byte)body,

+        address = net.IP4_Address{127, 0, 0, 1},
+        port    = 8080,
+    }
+
+    server: fjord.Server(UserError)
+    fjord.server_init(&server, endpoint, context.allocator)

+    fjord.listen_and_serve(&server)
