-# Spanner Node.js Driver
+# Google Spanner Node.js Driver (`@google-cloud/spanner-driver`)
 
-Node.js driver for Google Spanner.
+The `@google-cloud/spanner-driver` package provides a high-performance, `node-postgres` (`pg`) compatible client and connection pool interface for Google Spanner. It bridges Node.js applications directly to Spanner using a native Go CGO engine, delivering full PostgreSQL dialect support.
 
-**Note**: This package is currently under development and should not be used.
+[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@google-cloud/spanner-driver.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@google-cloud/spanner-driver)
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **`node-postgres` Compatibility**: Drop-in compatible `Client` and `Pool` interfaces matching standard PostgreSQL drivers.
+- **Dual ESM & CommonJS**: Full support for both `import` (ESM) and `require()` (CommonJS) modules.
+- **PostgreSQL Dialect Utilities**: Escaping tools (`escapeIdentifier`, `escapeLiteral`) and SQLSTATE error code enrichment (`DatabaseError`).
+- **Flexible Invocation Modes**: Supports Promises (`async`/`await`), Node callbacks, and streaming row event emitters.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @google-cloud/spanner-driver
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### 1. Connecting via `Client`
+
+```typescript
+import { Client } from '@google-cloud/spanner-driver';
+
+// Option A: Configuration Object
+const client = new Client({
+  project: 'my-gcp-project',
+  instance: 'my-spanner-instance',
+  database: 'my-spanner-database',
+});
+
+// Option B: Connection DSN String or postgresql:// URL
+// const client = new Client('projects/my-gcp-project/instances/my-spanner-instance/databases/my-spanner-database');
+
+async function main() {
+  await client.connect();
+
+  // Executing queries with positional parameters ($1, $2, etc.)
+  const result = await client.query(
+    'SELECT user_id, email FROM users WHERE status = $1',
+    ['ACTIVE']
+  );
+
+  console.log(`Returned ${result.rowCount} rows:`);
+  console.log(result.rows);
+
+  // Close connection (or call client.release())
+  await client.end();
+}
+
+main().catch(console.error);
+```
+
+### 2. Connection Pooling via `Pool`
+
+```typescript
+import { Pool } from '@google-cloud/spanner-driver';
+
+const pool = new Pool({
+  project: 'my-gcp-project',
+  instance: 'my-spanner-instance',
+  database: 'my-spanner-database',
+});
+
+async function runPoolQueries() {
+  // Query executed using auto-acquired and auto-released pool connection
+  const res = await pool.query('SELECT current_timestamp()');
+  console.log('Result:', res.rows);
+
+  // Manually checkout client from pool
+  const client = await pool.connect();
+  try {
+    const userRes = await client.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE user_id = $1', [101]);
+    console.log('User:', userRes.rows);
+  } finally {
+    // Release client back to pool
+    client.release();
+  }
+}
+
+// Drain pool on application shutdown
+async function shutdown() {
+  await pool.end();
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Streaming Rows & Callbacks
+
+```typescript
+import { Client } from '@google-cloud/spanner-driver';
+
+const client = new Client({
+  project: 'my-gcp-project',
+  instance: 'my-spanner-instance',
+  database: 'my-spanner-database',
+});
+
+// Streaming row events
+client.query('SELECT * FROM large_table')
+  .on('row', row => console.log('Received Row:', row))
+  .on('end', result => console.log('Query finished. Total rows:', result.rowCount))
+  .on('error', err => console.error('Error:', err));
+```

+## Public API Reference
+
+| Export | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `Client` | Class | Database connection client (`connect()`, `query()`, `release()`, `end()`). |
+| `Pool` | Class | Connection pool (`connect()`, `query()`, `end()`). |
+| `DatabaseError` | Class | Enriched database error containing PostgreSQL SQLSTATE `.code` and `.severity`. |
+| `ClientConfig` | Interface | Client configuration options (`project`, `instance`, `database`, `host`, `port`, `connectionString`). |
+| `QueryResult` | Interface | Result set container (`rows`, `fields`, `rowCount`, `command`). |
+| `QueryConfig` | Interface | Query options object (`text`, `values`, `rowMode`). |
+| `escapeIdentifier` | Function | Escapes PostgreSQL identifiers with double quotes (`"my_table"`). |
+| `escapeLiteral` | Function | Escapes PostgreSQL string literals with single quotes (`'val'`). |
