+CWPack is the fastest open-source messagepack implementation. It is faster then

 CWPack does no memory allocations and no file handling. All that is done

+## Backward compatibility
+
+CWPack may be run in compatibility mode. It affects only packing; EXTs are considered illegal, BINs is transformed to STRs and generation of STR8 is supressed.
+
 ## Error handling
 
 CWPack does not check for illegal values (e.g. in STRs for illegal unicode characters).
 
-When an error is detected in a context, that context is stopped and all calls are returned

+#CWPack - Example
+
+The example contains a program that takes a json file and then converts it to a messagePack file, then converts the latter back to json.
+
+In the script runExample.sh the 2 json files are also diffed.
+
+The files `item.(h,c)` contains a memory tree representation of json data and the conversion routines:  
+
+- Item Tree To Json File
+- Item Tree To MessagePack File
+- Json File To Item Tree
+- MessagePack File To Item Tree
+
+The conversion routines are just examples and not of production quality.

+#CWPack - Goodies - Basic Contexts
+
+
+Basic contexts contains 3 contexts:
+
+- **Dynamic Memory Pack Context** is used when you want to pack to a malloc´d memory buffer. At buffer overflow the context handler tries to reallocate the buffer to a larger size.
+
+- **File Pack Context** is used when you pack to a file. At buffer overflow the context handler writes the buffer out and then reuses it. If an item is larger than the buffer, the handler tries to reallocate the buffer so the item would fit.
+
+- **File Unpack Context** is used when you unpack from a file. As with File Pack Context, the handler asserts that an items will always fit in the buffer.
