+# OurProjects Component Refactoring
+
+## Overview
+This document describes the refactoring of the `OurProjects` component from a prop-based to a data-driven architecture, improving maintainability and scalability.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Data Structure Migration
+- **Before**: Data was passed as props from `src/database/projects/projects.tsx`
+- **After**: Data is loaded directly from `src/data/projects.json`
+
+### 2. Enhanced Data Schema
+The new JSON structure includes additional fields for better project information:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": 1,
+  "title": "Project Name",
+  "description": "Detailed project description",
+  "image": "/img/blogs/project-image.png",
+  "projectUrl": "https://live-site-url.com",
+  "githubUrl": "https://github.com/recodehive/repo",
+  "tags": ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Type Safety Improvements
+- Added TypeScript interfaces in `src/data/types.ts`
+- Maintained backward compatibility with legacy interfaces
+- Enhanced type checking for project data
+
+### 4. Component Enhancements
+- **Self-contained**: Component now imports its own data
+- **Backward Compatible**: Still accepts legacy props if needed
+- **Better Error Handling**: Fallbacks for missing data
+- **Enhanced URLs**: Dynamic URL resolution from JSON data
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### New Files
+1. `src/data/projects.json` - Project data in JSON format
+2. `src/data/types.ts` - TypeScript interfaces
+
+### Modified Files
+1. `src/components/ourProjects.tsx` - Refactored to use JSON data
+2. `src/pages/index.tsx` - Removed dependency on old data file
+
+### Legacy Files (can be removed)
+1. `src/database/projects/projects.tsx` - No longer needed
+
+## Benefits
+
+### 1. Improved Maintainability
+- Easy to add/remove projects without touching code
+- JSON format is more accessible for non-developers
+- Clear separation of data and presentation
+
+### 2. Enhanced Scalability
+- Support for additional project metadata
+- Easy to extend with new fields
+- Better structure for future features
+
+### 3. Better Developer Experience
+- Strong TypeScript typing
+- Comprehensive documentation
+- Backward compatibility for migration
+
+## Usage
+
+### Simple Usage (Recommended)
+```tsx
+import OurProjects from "../components/ourProjects";
+
+// Component loads data automatically from JSON
+<OurProjects />
+```
+
+### Legacy Usage (Still Supported)
+```tsx
+import OurProjects from "../components/ourProjects";
+import legacyData from "../database/projects/projects";
+
+// Backward compatible
+<OurProjects OurProjectsData={legacyData} />
+```
+
+## Adding New Projects
+
+To add a new project, simply edit `src/data/projects.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": 6,
+  "title": "New Awesome Project",
+  "description": "Description of the new project",
+  "image": "/img/blogs/new-project.png",
+  "projectUrl": "https://new-project.com",
+  "githubUrl": "https://github.com/recodehive/new-project",
+  "tags": ["react", "typescript", "new"]
+}
+```
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+1. **Immediate**: The component works with both old and new data formats
+2. **Recommended**: Remove `src/database/projects/projects.tsx` after testing
+3. **Future**: The legacy props interface will be removed in a future version
+
+## Testing
+
+The refactoring maintains identical UI/UX behavior:
+- ✅ All existing projects display correctly
+- ✅ Interactive features work as before
+- ✅ Responsive design is preserved
+- ✅ Dark/light theme support maintained
+- ✅ Live website previews function properly
+- ✅ Hover effects and animations intact
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+- **Minimal**: JSON parsing is negligible
+- **Improved**: Reduced bundle size (no longer importing React component for data)
+- **Better**: Faster builds due to simpler dependency tree
