+# caniuse-lite
+
+A smaller version of caniuse-db, with only the essentials!
+
+## Why?
+
+The full data behind [Can I use][1] is incredibly useful for any front end
+developer, and on the website all of the details from the database are displayed
+to the user. However in automated tools, [many of these fields go unused][2];
+it's not a problem for server side consumption but client side, the less
+JavaScript that we send to the end user the better.
+
+caniuse-lite then, is a smaller dataset that keeps essential parts of the data
+in a compact format. It does this in multiple ways, such as converting `null`
+array entries into empty strings, representing support data as an integer rather
+than a string, and using base62 references instead of longer human-readable
+keys.
+
+This packed data is then reassembled (via functions exposed by this module) into
+a larger format which is mostly compatible with caniuse-db, and so it can be
+used as an almost drop-in replacement for caniuse-db for contexts where size on
+disk is important; for example, usage in web browsers. The API differences are
+very small and are detailed in the section below.
+
+
+## API
+
+```js
+import * as lite from 'caniuse-lite';
+```
+
+
+### `lite.agents`
+
+caniuse-db provides a full `data.json` file which contains all of the features
+data. Instead of this large file, caniuse-lite provides this data subset
+instead, which has the `browser`, `prefix`, `prefix_exceptions`, `usage_global`
+and `versions` keys from the original.
+
+In addition, the subset contains the `release_date` key with release dates (as timestamps) for each version:
+```json
+{
+  "release_date": {
+    "6": 998870400,
+    "7": 1161129600,
+    "8": 1237420800,
+    "9": 1300060800,
+    "10": 1346716800,
+    "11": 1381968000,
+    "5.5": 962323200
+  }
+}
+```
+
+
+### `lite.feature(js)`
+
+The `feature` method takes a file from `data/features` and converts it into
+something that more closely represents the `caniuse-db` format. Note that only
+the `title`, `stats` and `status` keys are kept from the original data.
+
+
+### `lite.features`
+
+The `features` index is provided as a way to query all of the features that
+are listed in the `caniuse-db` dataset. Note that you will need to use the
+`feature` method on values from this index to get a human-readable format.
+
+
+### `lite.region(js)`
+
+The `region` method takes a file from `data/regions` and converts it into
+something that more closely represents the `caniuse-db` format. Note that *only*
+the usage data is exposed here (the `data` key in the original files).
