+# nconf
+
+A hybrid local / remote configuration storage library for node.js.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Installing npm (node package manager)
+<pre>
+  curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
+</pre>
+
+### Installing nconf
+<pre>
+  [sudo] npm install nconf
+</pre>
+
+## Usage 
+Using nconf is easy; it is designed to be a simple key-value store with support for both local and remote storage. Keys are namespaced and delimited by `:`. Lets dive right into sample usage:
+
+<pre>
+  var fs    = require('fs'),
+      nconf = require('nconf');
+  
+  //
+  // Setup nconf to user the 'file' store and set a couple of values;
+  //
+  nconf.use('file', { file: 'path/to/your/config.json' });
+  nconf.set('database:host', '127.0.0.1');
+  nconf.set('database:port', 5984);
+  
+  //
+  // Get the entire database object from nconf
+  //
+  var database = nconf.get('database');
+  
+  //
+  // Save the configuration object to disk
+  //
+  nconf.save(function (err) {
+    fs.readFile('path/to/your/config.json', function (err, data) {
+      console.dir(JSON.parse(data.toString()))
+    });
+  });
+</pre>
+
+## Storage Engines
