-User defined data types should provide `HasAvroSchema`/`ToAvro`/`FromAvro` instances to be encoded/decoded to/from Avro.
-
-## Defining types and `HasAvroSchema` / `FromAvro` / `ToAvro` manually
-
-Typically these imports are useful:
-```
-import           Data.Avro
-import           Data.Avro.Schema as S
-import qualified Data.Avro.Types  as AT
+deriveAvroFromByteString [r|

+  "type": "record",
+  "fields": [
+    { "name": "fullName", "type": "string" },

+    { "name": "gender",
+      "type": { "type": "enum", "symbols": ["Male", "Female"] }
+    },
+    { "name": "ssn", "type": ["null", "string"] }
+  ]
+}
+|]
 ```
 
-Assuming there is a data type to be encoded/decoded from/to Avro:
-```
-data Gender = Male | Female deriving (Eq, Ord, Show, Enum)
+This code will generate the following entries:
+
+```haskell
+data Gender = GenderMale | GenderFemale
+
+schema'Gender :: Schema
+schema'Gender = ...
+
 data Person = Person
-     { fullName :: Text
-     , age      :: Int32
-     , gender   :: Gender
-     , ssn      :: Maybe Text
-     } deriving (Show, Eq)
-```
+  { personFullName  :: Text
+  , personAge       :: Int32
+  , personGender    :: Gender,
+  , personSsn       :: Maybe Text
+  }
 
-Avro schema for this type can be defined as:
+schema'Person :: Schema
+schema'Person = ...
 ```
-genderSchema :: Schema
-genderSchema = mkEnum "Gender" [] Nothing Nothing ["Male", "Female"]
-
-personSchema :: Schema
-personSchema =
-  Record "Person" Nothing [] Nothing Nothing
-    [ fld "name"   String       Nothing
-    , fld "age"    Int          Nothing
-    , fld "gender" genderSchema Nothing
-    , fld "ssn" (mkUnion $ Null :| [String]) Nothing
-    ]
-    where
-     fld nm ty def = Field nm [] Nothing Nothing ty def
 
-instance HasAvroSchema Person where
-  schema = pure personSchema
-```
+As well as all the useful instances for these types: `Eq`, `Show`, `Generic`, noticing `HasAvroSchema`, `FromAvro` and `ToAvro`.
 
-`ToAvro` instance for `Person` can be defined as:
-```
-instance ToAvro Person where
-  schema = pure personSchema
-  toAvro p = record personSchema
-             [ "name"   .= fullName p
-             , "age"    .= age p
-             , "gender" .= gender p
-             , "ssn"    .= ssn p
-             ]
-```
+See `Data.Avro.Deriving` module for more options like code generation from Avro schemas in files, specifying strictness and prefixes, etc.
 
-`FromAvro` instance for `Person` can be defined as:
-```
-instance FromAvro Person where
-  fromAvro (AT.Record _ r) =
-    Person <$> r .: "name"
-           <*> r .: "age"
-           <*> r .: "gender"
-           <*> r .: "ssn"
-  fromAvro r = badValue r "Person"
-```
+## Using Avro with existing Haskell types
 
-## Defining types and `HasAvroSchema` / `FromAvro` / `ToAvro` "automatically"
-This library provides functionality to derive Haskell data types and `HasAvroSchema`/`FromAvro`/`ToAvro` instances "automatically" from already existing Avro schemas (using TemplateHaskell).
+**Note**: This is an advanced topic. Prefer generating from schemas unless it is required to make Avro work with manually defined Haskell types.
 
-### Examples
+In this section we assume that the following Haskell type is manually defined:
 
-`deriveAvro` will derive data types, `FromAvro` and `ToAvro` instances from a provided Avro schema file:
+```haskell
+data Person = Person
+  { fullName  :: Text
+  , age       :: Int32
+  , ssn       :: Maybe Text
+  } deriving (Eq, Show, Generic)
 ```
-{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
-{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric   #-}
-import Data.Avro.Deriving
 
-deriveAvro "schemas/contract.avsc"
-```
+For a Haskell type to be encodable to Avro it should have `ToAvro` instance, and to be decodable from Avro it should have `FromAvro` instance.
 
-Similarly, `deriveFromAvro` can be used to only derive data types and `FromAvro`, but not `ToAvro` instances.
+There is also `HasAvroSchema` class that is useful to have an instance of (although it is not required strictly speaking).
 
-If you prefer defining Avro schema in Haskell and not in `avsc`, then `deriveAvro'` can be used instead of `deriveAvro`.
 
-### Conventions
-When Haskell data types are generated, these conventions are followed:
+### Creating a schema
 
-- Type and field names are "sanitized":
-all the charachers except `[a-z,A-Z,',_]` are removed from names
-- Field names are prefixed with the name of the record they are declared in.
+A schema can still be generated using TH:
 
-For example, if Avro schema defines `Person` record as:
-```
-{ "type": "record",
+```haskell
+schema'Person :: Schema
+schema'Person = $(makeSchemaFromByteString [r|
+{
   "name": "Person",
+  "type": "record",
   "fields": [
-    { "name": "name", "type": "string"}
+    { "name": "fullName", "type": "string" },
+    { "name": "age", "type": "int" },
+    { "name": "ssn", "type": ["null", "string"] }
   ]
 }
+|])
 ```
 
-then generated Haskell type will look like:
+Alternatively schema can be defined manually:
+
+```haskell
+import Data.Avro
+import Data.Avro.Schema.Schema (mkUnion)
+
+schema'Person :: Schema
+schema'Person =
+  Record "Person" []  Nothing                                 Nothing
+    [ fld "fullName"  (String Nothing)                        Nothing
+    , fld "age"       (Int Nothing)                           Nothing
+    , fld "ssn"       (mkUnion $ Null :| [(String Nothing)])  Nothing
+    ]
+  where
+     fld nm ty def = Field nm [] Nothing Nothing ty def
 ```
-data Person = Person
-     { personName :: Text
-     } deriving (Show, Eq)
+
+---
+**NOTE**: When Schema is created separately to a data type there is no way to guarantee that the schema actually matches the type. It will be up to a developer to make sure of that.
+
+Prefer generating data types with `Data.Avro.Deriving` when possible.
+
+---
+
+### Instantiating `FromAvro`
+
+When working with `FromAvro` directly it is important to understand the difference between `Schema` and `ReadSchema`.
+
+`Schema` (as in the example above) is just a regular data schema for an Avro type.
+
+`ReadSchema` is a similar type, but it is capable of captuting and resolving differences between "_writer_ schema" and "_reader_ schema". See [Specification](https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Schema+Resolution) to learn more about schema resolution and de-conflicting.
+
+`FromAvro` class requires `ReaderSchema` because with Avro it is possible to read data with a different schema compared to the schema that was used for writing this data.
+
+`ReadSchema` can be obtained by converting an existing `Schema` with `readSchemaFromSchema` function, or by actually deconflicting two schemas using `deconflict` function.
+
+Another **important fact** is that field's values in Avro payload are written and read _in order_ with how these fields are defined in the schema.
+
+This fact can be exploited in writing `FromAvro` instance for `Person`:
+
+```haskell
+import           Data.Avro.Encoding.FromAvro (FromAvro (..))
+import qualified Data.Avro.Encoding.FromAvro as FromAvro
+
+instance FromAvro Person where
+  fromAvro (FromAvro.Record _schema vs) = Person
+    <$> fromAvro (vs Vector.! 0)
+    <*> fromAvro (vs Vector.! 1)
+    <*> fromAvro (vs Vector.! 2)
+```
+
+Fields resolution by name can be performed here (since we have reference to the schema). But in this case it is simpler (and faster) to exploit the fact that the order of values is known and to access required values by their positions.
+
+### Instantiating `ToAvro`
+
+`ToAvro` class is defined as
+
+```haskell
+class ToAvro a where
+  toAvro :: Schema -> a -> Builder
 ```
 
-### Limitations
-Two-parts unions like `["null", "MyType"]` or `["MyType", "YourType"]` are supported (as Haskell's `Maybe MyType` and `Either MyType YourType`), but multi-parts unions are currently _not_ supported.
-It is not due to any fundamental problems but because it has not been done yet. PRs are welcomed! :)
-# TODO
-Please see the [TODO](TODO)
+A `Schema` is provided to help with disambiguating how exactly the specified value should be encoded.
+
+For example, `UTCTime` can be encoded as milliseconds or as microseconds depending on schema's _logical type_ accordig to [Specification](https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Logical+Types):
+
+```haskell
+instance ToAvro UTCTime where
+  toAvro s = case s of
+    Long (Just TimestampMicros) ->
+      toAvro @Int64 s . fromIntegral . utcTimeToMicros
+
+    Long (Just TimestampMillis)) ->
+      toAvro @Int64 s . fromIntegral . utcTimeToMillis
+```
+
+`ToAvro` instance for `Person` data type from the above could look like:
+
+```haskell
+import Data.Avro.Encoding.ToAvro (ToAvro(..), record, ((.=)))
+
+instance ToAvro Person where
+  toAvro schema value =
+    record schema
+      [ "fullName"  .= fullName value
+      , "age"       .= age value
+      , "ssn"       .= ssn value
+      ]
+```
+
+`record` helper function is responsible for propagaing individual fields' schemas (found in the provided `schema`) when `toAvro`'ing nested values.
+
+## Type mapping
+
+Full list can be found in `ToAvro` and `FromAvro` modules.

 -- | Avro encoding and decoding routines.
 --
--- This library provides a high level interface for encoding (and decoding)
+-- This library provides a high level interface for encoding and decoding
 -- Haskell values in Apache's Avro serialization format.
---
--- The goal is to match Aeson's API whenever reasonable,
--- meaning user experience with one effectively translate to the other.
---
--- Avro RPC is not currently supported.
---
--- == Library Structure
---
--- The library structure includes:
---
---   * This module, "Data.Avro", providing a high-level interface via
---     classes of 'FromAvro' and 'ToAvro' for decoding and encoding values.
---
---   * "Data.Avro.Schema": Defines the type for Avro schema's and its JSON
---      encoding/decoding.
---
---   * "Data.Avro.Encode" and "Data.Avro.Decode": More
---     efficient conversion capable of avoiding the intermediate representation.
---     Also, the implementation of the en/decoding of the intermediate
---     representation.
---
---   * "Data.Avro.Decode.Lazy": Lazy/Streaming decoding for Avro containers.
---
---   * "Data.Avro.Deconflict": translate decoded data from an
---     encoder schema to the (potentially different) decoder's schema.
