-ShrinkableMap is a high-performance, generic, thread-safe map implementation for Go that automatically manages memory by shrinking its internal storage when items are deleted. It provides a solution to the common issue where Go's built-in maps don't release memory after deleting elements.

+## 📦 Installation
 
 ```bash
 go get github.com/jongyunha/shrinkmap
 ```
 
-## Quick Start
+## 🔧 Quick Start
 
 ```go
 package main
 
 import (
     "fmt"
-    "time"
     "github.com/jongyunha/shrinkmap"
 )
 
 func main() {
-    // Create a new map with string keys and int values
+    // Create a new map with default configuration
     sm := shrinkmap.New[string, int](shrinkmap.DefaultConfig())
-
-    // Ensure cleanup when done
     defer sm.Stop()
 
-    // Set values
+    // Basic operations
     sm.Set("one", 1)
     sm.Set("two", 2)
 
-    // Get value
     if value, exists := sm.Get("one"); exists {
         fmt.Printf("Value: %d\n", value)
     }
 
     // Delete value
     sm.Delete("one")
-
-    // Get current state snapshot
-    snapshot := sm.Snapshot()
-    for _, kv := range snapshot {
-        fmt.Printf("Key: %v, Value: %v\n", kv.Key, kv.Value)
-    }
-
-    // Get metrics including error statistics
-    metrics := sm.GetMetrics()
-    fmt.Printf("Total operations: %d\n", metrics.TotalItemsProcessed())
-    fmt.Printf("Total errors: %d\n", metrics.TotalErrors())
-    fmt.Printf("Total panics: %d\n", metrics.TotalPanics())
 }
 ```
 
-## Advanced Features
+## 💡 Advanced Usage
 
-### Error Tracking and Recovery
+### Batch Operations
 
-Monitor and track errors with detailed information:
+Efficiently process multiple operations atomically:
 
 ```go
-metrics := sm.GetMetrics()
-
-// Get error statistics
-totalErrors := metrics.TotalErrors()
-totalPanics := metrics.TotalPanics()
-lastPanicTime := metrics.LastPanicTime()
-
-// Get last error details
-if lastError := metrics.LastError(); lastError != nil {
-    fmt.Printf("Last error: %v\n", lastError.Error)
-    fmt.Printf("Stack trace: %v\n", lastError.Stack)
-    fmt.Printf("Time: %v\n", lastError.Timestamp)
+batch := shrinkmap.BatchOperations[string, int]{
+    Operations: []shrinkmap.BatchOperation[string, int]{
+        {Type: shrinkmap.BatchSet, Key: "one", Value: 1},
+        {Type: shrinkmap.BatchSet, Key: "two", Value: 2},
+        {Type: shrinkmap.BatchDelete, Key: "three"},
+    },
 }
 
-// Get error history (last 10 errors)
-errorHistory := metrics.ErrorHistory()
-for _, err := range errorHistory {
-    fmt.Printf("Error: %v, Time: %v\n", err.Error, err.Timestamp)
-}
+// Apply all operations atomically
+sm.ApplyBatch(batch)
 ```
 
-### State Inspection
+### Safe Iteration
 
-Safely inspect map state without locking:
+Iterate over map contents safely using the iterator:
 
 ```go
-// Get current state snapshot
+// Create an iterator
+iter := sm.NewIterator()
+
+// Iterate over all items
+for iter.Next() {
+    key, value := iter.Get()
+    fmt.Printf("Key: %v, Value: %v\n", key, value)
+}
+
+// Or use snapshot for bulk processing
 snapshot := sm.Snapshot()
 for _, kv := range snapshot {
     fmt.Printf("Key: %v, Value: %v\n", kv.Key, kv.Value)
 }
 ```
 
-### Resource Management
+### Performance Monitoring
 
-Proper cleanup with graceful shutdown:
+Track performance metrics:
 
 ```go
-// Create map
-sm := shrinkmap.New[string, int](shrinkmap.DefaultConfig())
+metrics := sm.GetMetrics()
+fmt.Printf("Total operations: %d\n", metrics.TotalItemsProcessed())
+fmt.Printf("Peak size: %d\n", metrics.PeakSize())
+fmt.Printf("Total shrinks: %d\n", metrics.TotalShrinks())
+```
 
-// Ensure cleanup
-defer sm.Stop()
+## 🔍 Configuration Options
 
-// Or stop explicitly when needed
-sm.Stop()
+```go
+config := shrinkmap.Config{
+    InitialCapacity:      1000,
+    AutoShrinkEnabled:    true,
+    ShrinkInterval:       time.Second,
+    MinShrinkInterval:    time.Second,
+    ShrinkRatio:         0.5,
+    CapacityGrowthFactor: 1.5,
+    MaxMapSize:           1000000,
+}
 ```
 
-## Thread Safety Guarantees
+## 🛡️ Thread Safety Guarantees
 
 - All map operations are atomic and thread-safe
-- Metrics collection is non-blocking and thread-safe
-- Shrinking operations are coordinated to prevent conflicts
 - Safe concurrent access from multiple goroutines
-- Panic recovery in auto-shrink goroutine
-- Thread-safe error tracking and metrics collection
-- Safe state inspection with snapshots
+- Thread-safe batch operations
+- Safe iteration with consistent snapshots
+- Coordinated shrinking operations
+- Thread-safe metrics collection
+
+## 📊 Performance
 
-## Best Practices
+Benchmark results on typical operations (Intel i7-9700K, 32GB RAM):
 
-1. Always ensure proper cleanup:
+```
+BenchmarkBasicOperations/Sequential_Set-8         5000000    234 ns/op
+BenchmarkBasicOperations/Sequential_Get-8         10000000   112 ns/op
+BenchmarkBatchOperations/BatchSize_100-8         100000     15234 ns/op
+BenchmarkConcurrency/Parallel_8-8                1000000    1123 ns/op
+```
+
+## 📝 Best Practices
+
+1. **Resource Management**
 ```go
 sm := shrinkmap.New[string, int](config)
-defer sm.Stop() // Ensure auto-shrink goroutine is cleaned up
+defer sm.Stop() // Always ensure proper cleanup
 ```
 
-2. Monitor errors and panics:
+2. **Batch Processing**
 ```go
-metrics := sm.GetMetrics()
-if metrics.TotalErrors() > 0 {
-    // Investigate error history
-    for _, err := range metrics.ErrorHistory() {
-        log.Printf("Error: %v, Time: %v\n", err.Error, err.Timestamp)
-    }
-}
+// Use batch operations for multiple updates
+batch := prepareBatchOperations()
+sm.ApplyBatch(batch)
 ```
 
-3. Use snapshots for safe iteration:
+3. **Safe Iteration**
 ```go
-snapshot := sm.Snapshot()
-for _, kv := range snapshot {
-    // Process items without holding locks
-    process(kv.Key, kv.Value)
+// Use iterator for safe enumeration
+iter := sm.NewIterator()
+for iter.Next() {
+    // Process items safely
 }
 ```
