DataLoader is a generic utility to be used as part of your Vert.x application's batch data fetching layer to provide a
6-
consistent API over various back-ends and reduce requests to those back-ends via batching and caching.
5+
This small and simple utility library is a port of [Facebook DataLoader](https://github.com/facebook/dataloader)
6+
to Java 8 for use with [Vert.x](http://vertx.io). It can serve as integral part of your application's data layer to provide a
7+
consistent API over various back-ends and reduce message communication overhead through batching and caching.

The code is a direct port of the [facebook/dataloader](https://github.com/facebook/dataloader) reference
9-
implementation provided by Facebook, with some slight modifications to make it work for Java 8
10-
and [Vert.x](http://vertx.io).
9+
An important use case for `DataLoader` is improving the efficiency of GraphQL query execution, but there are
10+
many other use cases where you can benefit from using this utility.

Be sure to check the original documentation: https://github.com/facebook/dataloader/blob/master/README.md

And this post explaining how to use data loader with GraphQL: http://gajus.com/blog/9/using-dataloader-to-batch-requests
12+
Most of the code is ported directly from Facebook's reference implementation, with one IMPORTANT adaptation to make
13+
it work for Java 8 and Vert.x. ([Find more on this in the paragraphs below]).
14+
15+
But before reading on, be sure to take a short dive into the
16+
[original documentation](https://github.com/facebook/dataloader/blob/master/README.md) provided by Lee Byron (@leebyron)
17+
and Nicholas Schrock (@schrockn) from [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/), the creators of the original data loader.

## Contributing
82+
83+
All your feedback and help to improve this project is very welcome. Please create issues for your bugs, ideas and
84+
enhancement requests, or better yet, contribute directly by creating a PR.
85+
86+
When reporting an issue, please add a detailed instruction, and if possible a code snippet or test that can be used
87+
as a reproducer of your problem.
88+
89+
When creating a pull request, please adhere to the Vert.x coding style where possible, and create tests with your
90+
code so it keeps providing an excellent test coverage level. PR's without tests may not be accepted unless they only
91+
deal with minor changes.

[Nicholas Schrock](https://github.com/schrockn) from [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/) whom I like to thank, and
97+
especially @leebyron for taking the time and effort to provide 100% coverage on the codebase. A set of tests which
