+CDB functions for PHP
+=====================
+
+[CDB][], short for "constant database", refers to a very fast and highly
+reliable database system which uses a simple file with key value pairs. This
+library wraps the CDB functionality exposed in PHP via the `dba_*` functions.
+In cases where `dba_*` functions are not present or are not compiled with CDB
+support, a pure-PHP implementation is provided for falling back.
+
+Additional documentation about the library can be found on [MediaWiki.org](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CDB).
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+```
+// Reading a CDB file
+$cdb = \Cdb\Reader::open( 'db.cdb' );
+$foo = $cdb->get( 'somekey' );
+
+// Writing to a CDB file
+$cdb = \Cdb\Writer::open( 'anotherdb.cdb' );
+$cdb->set( 'somekey', $foo );
+```
+
+Running tests
+-------------
+
+```
+composer install --prefer-dist
+cd test
+../vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit .
+```
+
+History
+-------
+
+This library was first introduced in [MediaWiki 1.16][] ([r52203][]). It was
+split out of the MediaWiki codebase and published as an independent library
+during the [MediaWiki 1.25][] development cycle.
