 # jSQL 
-v1.3
+v1.6
 
-Too often web applications rely on server side databases to store state information, causing unnecessary strain on the server and longer load time for the end user. jSQL aims to solve the quandary of the stateless web by using various APIs to store serialized data structures on the user's hard drive. 
+jSQL is a state and data management tool as well as a robust SQL engine. For complete documentation, please see [the jSQL Wiki](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki).
 
 Under the hood, jSQL has 3 layers: 
 
- - **At the Lowest level**, jSQL automatically chooses the best method of storage to save state and interacts directly with it. This layer exposes a single method, [`jSQL.persist()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Persistence-Management#jsqlpersist), which is called to serialize and store all data currently in the jSQL database on the user's hard drive. While the app is open and loaded in the browser, this data is serialized and stored within reach in the [`jSQL.tables`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Persistence-Management#jsqltables) object where the library is able to perform operations on it.
+ - **At the Lowest level**, jSQL automatically chooses the best method of storage to save state and interacts directly with it. This layer exposes a persistence method, [`jSQL.commit()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Persistence-Management#jsqlpersist), which is called to serialize and store all data currently in the jSQL database on the user's hard drive. While the app is open and loaded in the browser, this data is serialized and stored within reach in the [`jSQL.tables`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Persistence-Management#jsqltables) object where the library is able to perform operations on it.
 
- - **In the juicy center**, a set of methods are used to build [`jSQLQuery` objects](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/jSQLquery-interface) which execute CRUD commands on the jSQL database and it's tables. *(See: [`jSQL.createTable()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Querying-the-Database#jsqlcreatetableparams), [`jSQL.select()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Querying-the-Database#jsqlselectcolumns), [`jSQL.insertInto()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Querying-the-Database#jsqlinsertintotablename), [`jSQL.dropTable()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Querying-the-Database#jsqldroptabletablename), [`jSQL.update()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Querying-the-Database#jsqlupdatetablename), and [`jSQL.deleteFrom()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Querying-the-Database#jsqldeletefromtablename))*

- - **At the highest level**, jSQL is an SQL engine (hence the name: Javascript Query Language) which understands a subset of standard SQL passed to the [`jSQL.query()`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Querying-the-Database#jsqlquerysqlquery) method, which parses a [jSQL statement](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/jSQL-Syntax) and uses the above methods to create [`jSQLQuery` objects](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/jSQLquery-interface) to perform operations on the database.

 jSQL is written with flexibility, ease of use, and efficiency in mind. It supports prepared statements, column typing, and can store any kind of data you need it to, including functions and instances of custom objects. It's applications include caching server-sourced data, state persistence, data management and querying and more.

 ## Quick Start
 
-jSQL is implemented in a single JavaScript file. Save the [`jSQL.js`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/blob/master/jSQL.js) file (or if for performance junkies, the minified [`jSQL.min.js`](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/blob/master/jSQL.min.js) file) to your project folder and include it.

-Every aspect of jSQL is fully documented in the [jSQL Wiki](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki#jsql-docs), which includes [simple usage examples](https://github.com/Pamblam/jSQL/wiki/Examples) and anything else you would ever want to know about the library.
