-//! An HTTP Client
+
+//! `awc` is a HTTP/WebSocket library implemented atop of `actix` stack.
 //!
-//! ```rust
-//! use actix_rt::System;
-//! use awc::Client;
+//! ## Making a GET request
 //!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use actix_rt::System;
 //! #[actix_rt::main]
-//! async fn main() {
-//!    let mut client = Client::default();
+//! # async fn main() -> Result<(), awc::error::SendRequestError> {
+//! let mut client = awc::Client::default();
+//! let response = client.get("http://www.rust-lang.org") // <- Create request builder
+//!     .header("User-Agent", "Actix-web")
+//!     .send()                                           // <- Send http request
+//!     .await?;
+//!
+//!  println!("Response: {:?}", response);
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Making POST requests
+//!
+//! ### Raw body contents
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use actix_rt::System;
+//! # #[actix_rt::main]
+//! # async fn main() -> Result<(), awc::error::SendRequestError> {
+//! let mut client = awc::Client::default();
+//! let response = client.post("http://httpbin.org/post")
+//!     .send_body("Raw body contents")
+//!     .await?;
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ### Forms
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use actix_rt::System;
+//! # #[actix_rt::main]
+//! # async fn main() -> Result<(), awc::error::SendRequestError> {
+//! let params = [("foo", "bar"), ("baz", "quux")];
+//!
+//! let mut client = awc::Client::default();
+//! let response = client.post("http://httpbin.org/post")
+//!     .send_form(&params)
+//!     .await?;
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ### JSON
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use std::collections::HashMap;
+//! # use actix_rt::System;
+//! # #[actix_rt::main]
+//! # async fn main() -> Result<(), awc::error::SendRequestError> {
+//! let mut map = HashMap::new();
+//! map.insert("lang", "rust");
+//! map.insert("body", "json");
 //!
-//!    let response = client.get("http://www.rust-lang.org") // <- Create request builder
-//!        .header("User-Agent", "Actix-web")

+//! let response = client.post("http://httpbin.org/post")
+//!     .send_json(&map)
+//!     .await?;
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## WebSocket support
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use awc::{Client, ws};
+//! # #[actix_rt::main]
