+## Usage at a glance
+
+This simple example parses a JSON string into a document (DOM), make a simple modification of the DOM, and finally stringify the DOM to a JSON string.
+
+```cpp
+// example/simpledom/simpledom.cpp
+#include "rapidjson/document.h"
+#include "rapidjson/writer.h"
+#include "rapidjson/stringbuffer.h"
+#include <iostream>
+
+using namespace rapidjson;
+
+int main() {
+    // 1. Parse a JSON string into DOM.
+    const char* json = "{\"project\":\"rapidjson\",\"stars\":10}";
+    Document d;
+    d.Parse<0>(json);
+
+    // 2. Modify it by DOM.
+    d["stars"].SetInt(d["stars"].GetInt() + 1);
+
+    // 3. Stringify the DOM
+    StringBuffer buffer;
+    Writer<StringBuffer> writer(buffer);
+    d.Accept(writer);
+
+    // Output {"project":"rapidjson","stars":10}
+    std::cout << buffer.GetString() << std::endl;
+    return 0;
+}
