 ## How it works
 
@@ -19,3 +22,47 @@ A Java Queue interface implementation that stores directly to SqliteDb
    for new developers would be to hold only a single instance of the `SQLitePersistentQueue` class
    in your Application class, and retrieve this wherever you want. Also **DO NOT** forget to call `close()`
    to close the connection to the Database once you are finished using the Queue.
+
+## How to use
+
+ You need to implement the `QueueObjectConverter<T>` class (T is the type of the object you are storing in the Queue) **to decide how you want to serialize/deserialize objects** as objects are converted to strings before being saved in the database.
+
+A Sample implementation of the `QueueObjectConverter` interface:
+> Here I use Gson to convert objects to/from json strings
+
+```java
+public class GsonPayloadConverter implements QueueObjectConverter<Payload> {
+    private final Gson gson;
+
+    public GsonPayloadConverter(Gson gson) {
+        this.gson = gson;
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public Payload deserialize(String value) {
+        return gson.fromJson(value, Payload.class);
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public String serialize(Payload queueObject) {
+        return gson.toJson(queueObject);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+ This implementation you should pass to the constructor of `SQLitePersistentQueue` class. The `SQLitePersistentQueue` uses this implementation to convert objects to/from strings before returning storing/retreiving from the SqliteDb.
+
+Example:
+```java
+Gson gson = new Gson()
+queue = new SQLitePersistentQueue<>(c, new GsonPayloadConverter(gson));
+```
+
+This instantiated queue you can use it like any other java queue as it implements the `java.util.Queue` interface.
+
+##### Important
+
+Call `queue.close()` when you are done using the queue to close the connection to the Database.
+
+## TODO:
+ - Make Sqlite writes in chunks by providing `save()`  api?
