+The `NestedObjects` module provides module methods to safely navigate and
 manage a heirarchy of Ruby POROs nested using Hashes or Arrays. Think of these
 nested data objects like what you would get after reading in a JSON file.
 
-The key methods are:
+## Usage
 
-* `NestedObjects.deep_copy(data)` - returns a deep copy of data including nested hash
-  values and array elements
-* `NestedObjects.dig(data, path)` - returns the value at the given path
-* `NestedObjects.bury(data, path, value)` - sets a value within the data structure at
-  the given path
-* `NestedObjects.delete(data, path)` - deletes the Hash key or Array index at the
-  given path
-* `NestedObjects.path?(data, path)` - returns true if the path exists in the given
-  data structure
+### Module Methods
 
-These methods (prefixed with `nested_` to avoid method conflicts) can be mixed into
-`Object` for ease of use:
+These methods are exposted on the `NestedObjects` module. The key methods are:
+`deep_copy`, `dig`, `bury`, `delete`, and `path?`.
 
-```Ruby
-Object.include NestedObjects::Mixin
+Here is an example of using the `dig` method:
 
-data = { 'users' => [{ 'name' => 'John Smith'}, { 'name' => 'Jane Doe' }] }
+```Ruby
+require 'nested_objects'
 
-data.nested_dig(%w[users 1 name]) #=> 'Jane Doe'
+data = { 'people' => [{ 'name' => 'John'}, { 'name', 'Jane' }] }
+path = 'people/0/name'.split('/')
+NestedObjects.dig(data, path) #=> 'John'
 ```
 
-If the path is malformed or does not exist, a `BadPathError` will be raised.
-
-## Development
-
-After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run
-`bundle exec rake` to run tests, static analysis, and build the gem.
-
-For experimentation, you can also run `bin/console` for an interactive (IRB) prompt that
-automatically requires nested_objects.
+See documentation and examples of the full API in
+[the gem's YARD documentation](https://gemdocs.org/gems/nested_objects/).
 
-## Contributing
-
-Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at <https://github.com/main-branch/nested_objects>.
+### Object Mixin
 
-### Commit message guidelines
+As a convenience, these methods can be mixed into other classes by including the `NestedObjects::Mixin` module.
 
-All commit messages must follow the [Conventional Commits
-standard](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/). This helps us maintain a
-clear and structured commit history, automate versioning, and generate changelogs
-effectively.
+In order to reduce the possibility of method name conflicts, all methods are prefixed with `nested_`.
 
-To ensure compliance, this project includes:
+```Ruby
+Object.include NestedObjects::Mixin
 
-- A git commit-msg hook that validates your commit messages before they are accepted.
+data = { 'people' => [{ 'name' => 'John'}, { 'name', 'Jane' }] }
+path = 'people/0/name'.split('/')
+data.nested_dig(path) #=> 'John'
+```
 
-  To activate the hook, you must have node installed and run `npm install`.
+## Development
 
-- A GitHub Actions workflow that will enforce the Conventional Commit standard as
-  part of the continuous integration pipeline.
+After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run
+`bundle exec rake` to run tests, static analysis, and build the gem.
 
-  Any commit message that does not conform to the Conventional Commits standard will
-  cause the workflow to fail and not allow the PR to be merged.
+For experimentation, you can also run `bin/console` for an interactive (IRB) prompt
+that automatically requires nested_objects.
 
-### Pull request guidelines
+## Contributing
 
-All pull requests must be merged using rebase merges. This ensures that commit
-messages from the feature branch are preserved in the release branch, keeping the
-history clean and meaningful.
+See [the contributing guildlines](CONTRIBUTING.md) for guidance on how to contriute
+to this project.
