+RedBeanPHP 4
+============
+
+![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gabordemooij/redbean.svg?branch=master)
+
+RedBeanPHP is an easy to use ORM tool for PHP.
+
+* Automatically creates tables and columns as you go
+* No configuration, just fire and forget
+* No complicated package tools, no autoloaders, just ONE file
+
+Installation via Composer
+-------------------------
+
+Just open your composer.json file and add the package name ```(e.g. "gabordemooij/redbean": "dev-master")``` in your require list.
+
+```json
+{
+ "require": {
+ "gabordemooij/redbean": "dev-master"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**NOTE**:
+You will find many examples on the redbean website make use of RedBean's `R` class. Because of namespaced autoloading in composer, this class will be available as `\RedbeanPHP\R` instead of `R`. If you desire to use the much shorter `R` class, you can utilize PHP's `class_alias()` function to take care of the job for you as so:
+
+```php
+class_alias('\RedBeanPHP\R','\R');
+```
+
+If you are not using composer then [try it.](http://redbeanphp.com/install)
+
+
+Quick Example
+-------------
+
+How we store a book object with RedBeanPHP:
+```php
+$book = R::dispense("book");
+$book->author = "Santa Claus";
+$book->title = "Secrets of Christmas";
+$id = R::store( $book );
+```
+
+Yep, it's that simple.
