== Usage
+=== Creating an index object
+
+The gem provides the `Relaton::Index.find_or_create {type}, url: {url}, file: {filename}, id_keys: {keys}` method to create an index object. The first argument is the type of dataset (ISO, IEC, IHO, etc.). The second argument is the URL to the zipped remote index file. The third argument is the filename of the local index file. The fourth argument is an array of ID's parts names. The URL, filename, and keys are optional.
+
+If the URL is specified and the local file in a `/{home}/.relaton/{type}` dir doesn't exist or is outdated, the index file will be downloaded from the URL saved as a local file and an index object will be created from the file. If the file in the `/{home}/.relaton/{type}` exists and is actual, the index object will be created from the local file.
+
+If the URL isn't specified, the index object will be created from the local file in the current dir `./{filename}`. If the file doesn't exist, the empty index object will be created.
+
+If the filename isn't specified, a default `index,yaml` filename will be used.
+
+If the keys are specified, the local index file will be checked for the presence of the keys. If the keys are not found, the index file will be downloaded from the URL or an empty index object will be created if the URL isn't specified.
+
+It's possible to create many index objects for different types of datasets. The index objects are saved in the pool. The pool is a hash with the type of dataset as a key and the index object as a value. The pool is a class variable of the `Relaton::Index` class. The pool is used to find an existing index object by the type of dataset. The `Relaton::Index.find_or_create` method returns an existing index object if it was created before.
+
+If the URL or filename is specified and has a new value, different from what was used to create the index object before, the index object will be recreated.

=== Indexing
In this case, the Relaton library creates an index object and adds documents' files to it. By default, the index object is saved to the `index.yaml` file in the root of the repository. The filename can be changed using the `filename` setting.

=== Remove all index records
This method removes all records from the index object. The index file is not removed.

== Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
