+# Automatic Relation Loading Strategies
+
+## Overview
+
+**NEW:** The database adapters now **automatically** choose the optimal loading strategy by inspecting your model's relationship tags!
+
+Simply use `PreloadRelation()` and the system automatically:
+- Detects relationship type from Bun/GORM tags
+- Uses **JOIN** for many-to-one and one-to-one (efficient, no duplication)
+- Uses **separate query** for one-to-many and many-to-many (avoids duplication)
+
+## How It Works
+
+```go
+// Just write this - the system handles the rest!
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&links).
+    PreloadRelation("Provider").  // ✓ Auto-detects belongs-to → uses JOIN
+    PreloadRelation("Tags").      // ✓ Auto-detects has-many → uses separate query
+    Scan(ctx, &links)
+```
+
+### Detection Logic
+
+The system inspects your model's struct tags:
+
+**Bun models:**
+```go
+type Link struct {
+    Provider   *Provider `bun:"rel:belongs-to"`   // → Detected: belongs-to → JOIN
+    Tags       []Tag     `bun:"rel:has-many"`     // → Detected: has-many → Separate query
+}
+```
+
+**GORM models:**
+```go
+type Link struct {
+    ProviderID int
+    Provider   *Provider `gorm:"foreignKey:ProviderID"`  // → Detected: belongs-to → JOIN
+    Tags       []Tag     `gorm:"many2many:link_tags"`    // → Detected: many-to-many → Separate query
+}
+```
+
+**Type inference (fallback):**
+- `[]Type` (slice) → has-many → Separate query
+- `*Type` (pointer) → belongs-to → JOIN
+- `Type` (struct) → belongs-to → JOIN
+
+### What Gets Logged
+
+Enable debug logging to see strategy selection:
+
+```go
+bunAdapter.EnableQueryDebug()
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```
+DEBUG: PreloadRelation 'Provider' detected as: belongs-to
+INFO:  Using JOIN strategy for belongs-to relation 'Provider'
+DEBUG: PreloadRelation 'Links' detected as: has-many
+DEBUG: Using separate query for has-many relation 'Links'
+```
+
+## Relationship Types
+
+| Bun Tag | GORM Pattern | Field Type | Strategy | Why |
+|---------|--------------|------------|----------|-----|
+| `rel:has-many` | Slice field | `[]Type` | Separate Query | Avoids duplicating parent data |
+| `rel:belongs-to` | `foreignKey:` | `*Type` | JOIN | Single parent, no duplication |
+| `rel:has-one` | Single pointer | `*Type` | JOIN | One-to-one, no duplication |
+| `rel:many-to-many` | `many2many:` | `[]Type` | Separate Query | Complex join, avoid cartesian |
+
+## Manual Override
+
+If you need to force a specific strategy, use `JoinRelation()`:
+
+```go
+// Force JOIN even for has-many (not recommended)
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&providers).
+    JoinRelation("Links").  // Explicitly use JOIN
+    Scan(ctx, &providers)
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Automatic Strategy Selection (Recommended)
+
+```go
+// Example 1: Loading parent provider for each link
+// System detects belongs-to → uses JOIN automatically
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&links).
+    PreloadRelation("Provider", func(q common.SelectQuery) common.SelectQuery {
+        return q.Where("active = ?", true)
+    }).
+    Scan(ctx, &links)
+
+// Generated SQL: Single query with JOIN
+// SELECT links.*, providers.*
+// FROM links
+// LEFT JOIN providers ON links.provider_id = providers.id
+// WHERE providers.active = true
+
+// Example 2: Loading child links for each provider
+// System detects has-many → uses separate query automatically
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&providers).
+    PreloadRelation("Links", func(q common.SelectQuery) common.SelectQuery {
+        return q.Where("active = ?", true)
+    }).
+    Scan(ctx, &providers)
+
+// Generated SQL: Two queries
+// Query 1: SELECT * FROM providers
+// Query 2: SELECT * FROM links
+//          WHERE provider_id IN (1, 2, 3, ...)
+//          AND active = true
+```
+
+### Mixed Relationships
+
+```go
+type Order struct {
+    ID         int
+    CustomerID int
+    Customer   *Customer `bun:"rel:belongs-to"`    // JOIN
+    Items      []Item    `bun:"rel:has-many"`      // Separate
+    Invoice    *Invoice  `bun:"rel:has-one"`       // JOIN
+}
+
+// All three handled optimally!
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&orders).
+    PreloadRelation("Customer").  // → JOIN (many-to-one)
+    PreloadRelation("Items").     // → Separate (one-to-many)
+    PreloadRelation("Invoice").   // → JOIN (one-to-one)
+    Scan(ctx, &orders)
+```
+
+## Performance Benefits
+
+### Before (Manual Strategy Selection)
+
+```go
+// You had to remember which to use:
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // Should I use PreloadRelation or JoinRelation?
+.PreloadRelation("Links")     // Which is more efficient here?
+```
+
+### After (Automatic Selection)
+
+```go
+// Just use PreloadRelation everywhere:
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // ✓ System uses JOIN automatically
+.PreloadRelation("Links")     // ✓ System uses separate query automatically
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+**No changes needed!** If you're already using `PreloadRelation()`, it now automatically optimizes:
+
+```go
+// Before: Always used separate query
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // Inefficient: extra round trip
+
+// After: Automatic optimization
+.PreloadRelation("Provider")  // ✓ Now uses JOIN automatically!
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Supported Bun Tags
+- `rel:has-many` → Separate query
+- `rel:belongs-to` → JOIN
+- `rel:has-one` → JOIN
+- `rel:many-to-many` or `rel:m2m` → Separate query
+
+### Supported GORM Patterns
+- `many2many:` tag → Separate query
+- `foreignKey:` tag → JOIN (belongs-to)
+- `[]Type` slice without many2many → Separate query (has-many)
+- `*Type` pointer with foreignKey → JOIN (belongs-to)
+- `*Type` pointer without foreignKey → JOIN (has-one)
+
+### Fallback Behavior
+- `[]Type` (slice) → Separate query (safe default for collections)
+- `*Type` or `Type` (single) → JOIN (safe default for single relations)
+- Unknown → Separate query (safest default)
+
+## Debugging
+
+To see strategy selection in action:
+
+```go
+// Enable debug logging
+bunAdapter.EnableQueryDebug()  // or gormAdapter.EnableQueryDebug()
+
+// Run your query
+db.NewSelect().
+    Model(&records).
+    PreloadRelation("RelationName").
+    Scan(ctx, &records)
+
+// Check logs for:
+// - "PreloadRelation 'X' detected as: belongs-to"
+// - "Using JOIN strategy for belongs-to relation 'X'"
+// - Actual SQL queries executed
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use PreloadRelation() for everything** - Let the system optimize
+2. **Define proper relationship tags** - Ensures correct detection
+3. **Only use JoinRelation() for overrides** - When you know better than auto-detection
+4. **Enable debug logging during development** - Verify optimal strategies are chosen
+5. **Trust the system** - It's designed to choose correctly based on relationship type

+# Error Tracking
+
+This package provides error tracking integration for ResolveSpec, with built-in support for Sentry.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Provider Interface**: Flexible design supporting multiple error tracking backends
+- **Sentry Integration**: Full-featured Sentry support with automatic error, warning, and panic tracking
+- **Automatic Logger Integration**: All `logger.Error()` and `logger.Warn()` calls are automatically sent to the error tracker
+- **Panic Tracking**: Automatic panic capture with stack traces
+- **NoOp Provider**: Zero-overhead when error tracking is disabled
+
+## Configuration
+
+Add error tracking configuration to your config file:
+
+```yaml
+error_tracking:
+  enabled: true
+  provider: "sentry"  # Currently supports: "sentry" or "noop"
+  dsn: "https://your-sentry-dsn@sentry.io/project-id"
+  environment: "production"  # e.g., production, staging, development
+  release: "v1.0.0"  # Your application version
+  debug: false
+  sample_rate: 1.0  # Error sample rate (0.0-1.0)
+  traces_sample_rate: 0.1  # Traces sample rate (0.0-1.0)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Initialization
+
+Initialize error tracking in your application startup:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/config"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/errortracking"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/logger"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Load your configuration
+    cfg := config.Config{
+        ErrorTracking: config.ErrorTrackingConfig{
+            Enabled:     true,
+            Provider:    "sentry",
+            DSN:         "https://your-sentry-dsn@sentry.io/project-id",
+            Environment: "production",
+            Release:     "v1.0.0",
+            SampleRate:  1.0,
+        },
+    }
+
+    // Initialize logger
+    logger.Init(false)
+
+    // Initialize error tracking
+    provider, err := errortracking.NewProviderFromConfig(cfg.ErrorTracking)
+    if err != nil {
+        logger.Error("Failed to initialize error tracking: %v", err)
+    } else {
+        logger.InitErrorTracking(provider)
+    }
+
+    // Your application code...
+
+    // Cleanup on shutdown
+    defer logger.CloseErrorTracking()
+}
+```
+
+### Automatic Tracking
+
+Once initialized, all logger errors and warnings are automatically sent to the error tracker:
+
+```go
+// This will be logged AND sent to Sentry
+logger.Error("Database connection failed: %v", err)
+
+// This will also be logged AND sent to Sentry
+logger.Warn("Cache miss for key: %s", key)
+```
+
+### Panic Tracking
+
+Panics are automatically captured when using the logger's panic handlers:
+
+```go
+// Using CatchPanic
+defer logger.CatchPanic("MyFunction")
+
+// Using CatchPanicCallback
+defer logger.CatchPanicCallback("MyFunction", func(err any) {
+    // Custom cleanup
+})
+
+// Using HandlePanic
+defer func() {
+    if r := recover(); r != nil {
+        err = logger.HandlePanic("MyMethod", r)
+    }
+}()
+```
+
+### Manual Tracking
+
+You can also use the provider directly for custom error tracking:
+
+```go
+import (
+    "context"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/errortracking"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/logger"
+)
+
+func someFunction() {
+    tracker := logger.GetErrorTracker()
+    if tracker != nil {
+        // Capture an error
+        tracker.CaptureError(context.Background(), err, errortracking.SeverityError, map[string]interface{}{
+            "user_id": userID,
+            "request_id": requestID,
+        })
+
+        // Capture a message
+        tracker.CaptureMessage(context.Background(), "Important event occurred", errortracking.SeverityInfo, map[string]interface{}{
+            "event_type": "user_signup",
+        })
+
+        // Capture a panic
+        tracker.CapturePanic(context.Background(), recovered, stackTrace, map[string]interface{}{
+            "context": "background_job",
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Severity Levels
+
+The package supports the following severity levels:
+
+- `SeverityError`: For errors that should be tracked and investigated
+- `SeverityWarning`: For warnings that may indicate potential issues
+- `SeverityInfo`: For informational messages
+- `SeverityDebug`: For debug-level information
+
+```

+# Event Broker System
+
+A comprehensive event handler/broker system for ResolveSpec that provides real-time event publishing, subscription, and cross-instance communication.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multiple Sources**: Events from database, websockets, frontend, system, and internal sources
+- **Event Status Tracking**: Pending, processing, completed, failed states with timestamps
+- **Rich Metadata**: User IDs, session IDs, instance IDs, JSON payloads, and custom metadata
+- **Sync & Async Modes**: Choose between synchronous or asynchronous event processing
+- **Pattern Matching**: Subscribe to events using glob-style patterns
+- **Multiple Providers**: In-memory, Redis Streams, NATS JetStream, PostgreSQL with NOTIFY
+- **Hook Integration**: Automatic CRUD event capture via restheadspec hooks
+- **Retry Logic**: Configurable retry policy with exponential backoff
+- **Metrics**: Prometheus-compatible metrics for monitoring
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: Proper cleanup and event flushing on shutdown
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Configuration
+
+Add to your `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  enabled: true
+  provider: memory  # memory, redis, nats, database
+  mode: async       # sync, async
+  worker_count: 10
+  buffer_size: 1000
+  instance_id: "${HOSTNAME}"
+```
+
+### 2. Initialize
+
+```go
+import (
+	"github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/config"
+	"github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/eventbroker"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	// Load configuration
+	cfgMgr := config.NewManager()
+	cfg, _ := cfgMgr.GetConfig()
+
+	// Initialize event broker
+	if err := eventbroker.Initialize(cfg.EventBroker); err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Subscribe to Events
+
+```go
+// Subscribe to specific events
+eventbroker.Subscribe("public.users.create", eventbroker.EventHandlerFunc(
+	func(ctx context.Context, event *eventbroker.Event) error {
+		log.Printf("New user created: %s", event.Payload)
+		// Send welcome email, update cache, etc.
+		return nil
+	},
+))
+
+// Subscribe with patterns
+eventbroker.Subscribe("*.*.delete", eventbroker.EventHandlerFunc(
+	func(ctx context.Context, event *eventbroker.Event) error {
+		log.Printf("Deleted: %s.%s", event.Schema, event.Entity)
+		return nil
+	},
+))
+```
+
+### 4. Publish Events
+
+```go
+// Create and publish an event
+event := eventbroker.NewEvent(eventbroker.EventSourceDatabase, "public.users.update")
+event.InstanceID = eventbroker.GetDefaultBroker().InstanceID()
+event.UserID = 123
+event.SessionID = "session-456"
+event.Schema = "public"
+event.Entity = "users"
+event.Operation = "update"
+
+event.SetPayload(map[string]interface{}{
+	"id": 123,
+	"name": "John Doe",
+})
+
+// Async (non-blocking)
+eventbroker.PublishAsync(ctx, event)
+
+// Sync (blocking)
+eventbroker.PublishSync(ctx, event)
+```
+
+## Automatic CRUD Event Capture
+
+Automatically capture database CRUD operations:
+
+```go
+import (
+	"github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/eventbroker"
+	"github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/restheadspec"
+)
+
+func setupHooks(handler *restheadspec.Handler) {
+	broker := eventbroker.GetDefaultBroker()
+
+	// Configure which operations to capture
+	config := eventbroker.DefaultCRUDHookConfig()
+	config.EnableRead = false // Disable read events for performance
+
+	// Register hooks
+	eventbroker.RegisterCRUDHooks(broker, handler.Hooks(), config)
+
+	// Now all create/update/delete operations automatically publish events!
+}
+```
+
+## Event Structure
+
+Every event contains:
+
+```go
+type Event struct {
+	ID          string                 // UUID
+	Source      EventSource            // database, websocket, system, frontend, internal
+	Type        string                 // Pattern: schema.entity.operation
+	Status      EventStatus            // pending, processing, completed, failed
+	Payload     json.RawMessage        // JSON payload
+	UserID      int                    // User who triggered the event
+	SessionID   string                 // Session identifier
+	InstanceID  string                 // Server instance identifier
+	Schema      string                 // Database schema
+	Entity      string                 // Database entity/table
+	Operation   string                 // create, update, delete, read
+	CreatedAt   time.Time              // When event was created
+	ProcessedAt *time.Time             // When processing started
+	CompletedAt *time.Time             // When processing completed
+	Error       string                 // Error message if failed
+	Metadata    map[string]interface{} // Additional context
+	RetryCount  int                    // Number of retry attempts
+}
+```
+
+## Pattern Matching
+
+Subscribe to events using glob-style patterns:
+
+| Pattern | Matches | Example |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| `*` | All events | Any event |
+| `public.users.*` | All user operations | `public.users.create`, `public.users.update` |
+| `*.*.create` | All create operations | `public.users.create`, `auth.sessions.create` |
+| `public.*.*` | All events in public schema | `public.users.create`, `public.posts.delete` |
+| `public.users.create` | Exact match | Only `public.users.create` |
+
+## Providers
+
+### Memory Provider (Default)
+
+Best for: Development, single-instance deployments
+
+- **Pros**: Fast, no dependencies, simple
+- **Cons**: Events lost on restart, single-instance only
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  provider: memory
+```
+
+### Redis Provider (Future)
+
+Best for: Production, multi-instance deployments
+
+- **Pros**: Persistent, cross-instance pub/sub, reliable
+- **Cons**: Requires Redis
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  provider: redis
+  redis:
+    stream_name: "resolvespec:events"
+    consumer_group: "resolvespec-workers"
+    host: "localhost"
+    port: 6379
+```
+
+### NATS Provider (Future)
+
+Best for: High-performance, low-latency requirements
+
+- **Pros**: Very fast, built-in clustering, durable
+- **Cons**: Requires NATS server
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  provider: nats
+  nats:
+    url: "nats://localhost:4222"
+    stream_name: "RESOLVESPEC_EVENTS"
+```
+
+### Database Provider (Future)
+
+Best for: Audit trails, event replay, SQL queries
+
+- **Pros**: No additional infrastructure, full SQL query support, PostgreSQL NOTIFY for real-time
+- **Cons**: Slower than Redis/NATS
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  provider: database
+  database:
+    table_name: "events"
+    channel: "resolvespec_events"
+```
+
+## Processing Modes
+
+### Async Mode (Recommended)
+
+Events are queued and processed by worker pool:
+
+- Non-blocking event publishing
+- Configurable worker count
+- Better throughput
+- Events may be processed out of order
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  mode: async
+  worker_count: 10
+  buffer_size: 1000
+```
+
+### Sync Mode
+
+Events are processed immediately:
+
+- Blocking event publishing
+- Guaranteed ordering
+- Immediate error feedback
+- Lower throughput
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  mode: sync
+```
+
+## Retry Policy
+
+Configure automatic retries for failed handlers:
+
+```yaml
+event_broker:
+  retry_policy:
+    max_retries: 3
+    initial_delay: 1s
+    max_delay: 30s
+    backoff_factor: 2.0  # Exponential backoff
+```
+
+## Metrics
+
+The event broker exposes Prometheus metrics:
+
+- `eventbroker_events_published_total{source, type}` - Total events published
+- `eventbroker_events_processed_total{source, type, status}` - Total events processed
+- `eventbroker_event_processing_duration_seconds{source, type}` - Event processing duration
+- `eventbroker_queue_size` - Current queue size (async mode)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Async Mode**: For better performance, use async mode in production
+2. **Disable Read Events**: Read events can be high volume; disable if not needed
+3. **Pattern Matching**: Use specific patterns to avoid processing unnecessary events
+4. **Error Handling**: Always handle errors in event handlers; they won't fail the original operation
+5. **Idempotency**: Make handlers idempotent as events may be retried
+6. **Payload Size**: Keep payloads reasonable; avoid large objects
+7. **Monitoring**: Monitor metrics to detect issues early
+
+## Examples
+
+See `example_usage.go` for comprehensive examples including:
+- Basic event publishing and subscription
+- Hook integration
+- Error handling
+- Configuration
+- Pattern matching

+# OpenAPI Generator for ResolveSpec
+
+This package provides automatic OpenAPI 3.0 specification generation for ResolveSpec, RestheadSpec, and FuncSpec API frameworks.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Automatic Schema Generation**: Generates OpenAPI schemas from Go struct models
+- **Multiple Framework Support**: Works with RestheadSpec, ResolveSpec, and FuncSpec
+- **Dynamic Endpoint Discovery**: Automatically discovers all registered models and generates paths
+- **Query Parameter Access**: Access spec via `?openapi` on any endpoint or via `/openapi`
+- **Comprehensive Documentation**: Includes all request/response schemas, parameters, and security schemes
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### RestheadSpec Example
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/openapi"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/restheadspec"
+    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // 1. Create handler
+    handler := restheadspec.NewHandlerWithGORM(db)
+
+    // 2. Register models
+    handler.registry.RegisterModel("public.users", User{})
+    handler.registry.RegisterModel("public.products", Product{})
+
+    // 3. Configure OpenAPI generator
+    handler.SetOpenAPIGenerator(func() (string, error) {
+        generator := openapi.NewGenerator(openapi.GeneratorConfig{
+            Title:       "My API",
+            Description: "API documentation",
+            Version:     "1.0.0",
+            BaseURL:     "http://localhost:8080",
+            Registry:    handler.registry.(*modelregistry.DefaultModelRegistry),
+            IncludeRestheadSpec: true,
+            IncludeResolveSpec:  false,
+            IncludeFuncSpec:     false,
+        })
+        return generator.GenerateJSON()
+    })
+
+    // 4. Setup routes (automatically includes /openapi endpoint)
+    router := mux.NewRouter()
+    restheadspec.SetupMuxRoutes(router, handler, nil)
+
+    // Start server
+    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
+}
+```
+
+### ResolveSpec Example
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    // 1. Create handler
+    handler := resolvespec.NewHandlerWithGORM(db)
+
+    // 2. Register models
+    handler.RegisterModel("public", "users", User{})
+    handler.RegisterModel("public", "products", Product{})
+
+    // 3. Configure OpenAPI generator
+    handler.SetOpenAPIGenerator(func() (string, error) {
+        generator := openapi.NewGenerator(openapi.GeneratorConfig{
+            Title:       "My API",
+            Version:     "1.0.0",
+            Registry:    handler.registry.(*modelregistry.DefaultModelRegistry),
+            IncludeResolveSpec: true,
+        })
+        return generator.GenerateJSON()
+    })
+
+    // 4. Setup routes
+    router := mux.NewRouter()
+    resolvespec.SetupMuxRoutes(router, handler, nil)
+
+    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
+}
+```
+
+## Accessing the OpenAPI Specification
+
+Once configured, the OpenAPI spec is available in two ways:
+
+### 1. Global `/openapi` Endpoint
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/openapi
+```
+
+Returns the complete OpenAPI specification for all registered models.
+
+### 2. Query Parameter on Any Endpoint
+
+```bash
+# RestheadSpec
+curl http://localhost:8080/public/users?openapi
+
+# ResolveSpec
+curl http://localhost:8080/resolve/public/users?openapi
+```
+
+Returns the same OpenAPI specification as `/openapi`.
+
+## Generated Endpoints
+
+### RestheadSpec
+
+For each registered model (e.g., `public.users`), the following paths are generated:
+
+- `GET /public/users` - List records with header-based filtering
+- `POST /public/users` - Create a new record
+- `GET /public/users/{id}` - Get a single record
+- `PUT /public/users/{id}` - Update a record
+- `PATCH /public/users/{id}` - Partially update a record
+- `DELETE /public/users/{id}` - Delete a record
+- `GET /public/users/metadata` - Get table metadata
+- `OPTIONS /public/users` - CORS preflight
+
+### ResolveSpec
+
+For each registered model (e.g., `public.users`), the following paths are generated:
+
+- `POST /resolve/public/users` - Execute operations (read, create, meta)
+- `POST /resolve/public/users/{id}` - Execute operations (update, delete)
+- `GET /resolve/public/users` - Get metadata
+- `OPTIONS /resolve/public/users` - CORS preflight
+
+## Schema Generation
+
+The generator automatically extracts information from your Go struct tags:
+
+```go
+type User struct {
+    ID        int       `json:"id" gorm:"primaryKey" description:"User ID"`
+    Name      string    `json:"name" gorm:"not null" description:"User's full name"`
+    Email     string    `json:"email" gorm:"unique" description:"Email address"`
+    CreatedAt time.Time `json:"created_at" description:"Creation timestamp"`
+    Roles     []string  `json:"roles" description:"User roles"`
+}
+```
+
+This generates an OpenAPI schema with:
+- Property names from `json` tags
+- Required fields from `gorm:"not null"` and non-pointer types
+- Descriptions from `description` tags
+- Proper type mappings (int → integer, time.Time → string with format: date-time, etc.)
+
+## RestheadSpec Headers
+
+The generator documents all RestheadSpec HTTP headers:
+
+- `X-Filters` - JSON array of filter conditions
+- `X-Columns` - Comma-separated columns to select
+- `X-Sort` - JSON array of sort specifications
+- `X-Limit` - Maximum records to return
+- `X-Offset` - Records to skip
+- `X-Preload` - Relations to eager load
+- `X-Expand` - Relations to expand (LEFT JOIN)
+- `X-Distinct` - Enable DISTINCT queries
+- `X-Response-Format` - Response format (detail, simple, syncfusion)
+- `X-Clean-JSON` - Remove null/empty fields
+- `X-Custom-SQL-Where` - Custom WHERE clause (AND)
+- `X-Custom-SQL-Or` - Custom WHERE clause (OR)
+
+## ResolveSpec Request Body
+
+The generator documents the ResolveSpec request body structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "data": {},
+  "id": 123,
+  "options": {
+    "limit": 10,
+    "offset": 0,
+    "filters": [
+      {"column": "status", "operator": "eq", "value": "active"}
+    ],
+    "sort": [
+      {"column": "created_at", "direction": "desc"}
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Schemes
+
+The generator automatically includes common security schemes:
+
+- **BearerAuth**: JWT Bearer token authentication
+- **SessionToken**: Session token in Authorization header
+- **CookieAuth**: Cookie-based session authentication
+- **HeaderAuth**: Header-based user authentication (X-User-ID)
+
+## FuncSpec Custom Endpoints
+
+For FuncSpec, you can manually register custom SQL endpoints:
+
+```go
+funcSpecEndpoints := map[string]openapi.FuncSpecEndpoint{
+    "/api/reports/sales": {
+        Path:        "/api/reports/sales",
+        Method:      "GET",
+        Summary:     "Get sales report",
+        Description: "Returns sales data for specified date range",
+        SQLQuery:    "SELECT * FROM sales WHERE date BETWEEN [start_date] AND [end_date]",
+        Parameters:  []string{"start_date", "end_date"},
+    },
+}
+
+generator := openapi.NewGenerator(openapi.GeneratorConfig{
+    // ... other config
+    IncludeFuncSpec:   true,
+    FuncSpecEndpoints: funcSpecEndpoints,
+})
+```
+
+## Combining Multiple Frameworks
+
+You can generate a unified OpenAPI spec that includes multiple frameworks:
+
+```go
+generator := openapi.NewGenerator(openapi.GeneratorConfig{
+    Title:       "Unified API",
+    Version:     "1.0.0",
+    Registry:    sharedRegistry,
+    IncludeRestheadSpec: true,
+    IncludeResolveSpec:  true,
+    IncludeFuncSpec:     true,
+    FuncSpecEndpoints:   funcSpecEndpoints,
+})
+```
+
+This will generate a complete spec with all endpoints from all frameworks.
+
+## Advanced Customization
+
+You can customize the generated spec further:
+
+```go
+handler.SetOpenAPIGenerator(func() (string, error) {
+    generator := openapi.NewGenerator(config)
+
+    // Generate initial spec
+    spec, err := generator.Generate()
+    if err != nil {
+        return "", err
+    }
+
+    // Add contact information
+    spec.Info.Contact = &openapi.Contact{
+        Name:  "API Support",
+        Email: "support@example.com",
+        URL:   "https://example.com/support",
+    }
+
+    // Add additional servers
+    spec.Servers = append(spec.Servers, openapi.Server{
+        URL:         "https://staging.example.com",
+        Description: "Staging Server",
+    })
+
+    // Convert back to JSON
+    data, _ := json.MarshalIndent(spec, "", "  ")
+    return string(data), nil
+})
+```
+
+## Using with Swagger UI
+
+You can serve the generated OpenAPI spec with Swagger UI:
+
+1. Get the spec from `/openapi`
+2. Load it in Swagger UI at `https://petstore.swagger.io/`
+3. Or self-host Swagger UI and point it to your `/openapi` endpoint
+
+Example with self-hosted Swagger UI:
+
+```go
+// Serve Swagger UI static files
+router.PathPrefix("/swagger/").Handler(
+    http.StripPrefix("/swagger/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("./swagger-ui"))),
+)
+
+// Configure Swagger UI to use /openapi
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+You can test the OpenAPI endpoint:
+
+```bash
+# Get the full spec
+curl http://localhost:8080/openapi | jq
+
+# Validate with openapi-generator
+openapi-generator validate -i http://localhost:8080/openapi
+
+# Generate client SDKs
+openapi-generator generate -i http://localhost:8080/openapi -g typescript-fetch -o ./client
+```
+
+## Complete Example
+
+See `example.go` in this package for complete, runnable examples including:
+- Basic RestheadSpec setup
+- Basic ResolveSpec setup
+- Combining both frameworks
+- Adding FuncSpec endpoints
+- Advanced customization
