+News
+=======
+
+Check out the [README](https://github.com/google/draco/blob/1.5.7/README.md)
+file for news about this release.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+[Draco] is a library for compressing and decompressing 3D geometric [meshes] and
+[point clouds]. It is intended to improve the storage and transmission of 3D
+graphics.
+
+Draco was designed and built for compression efficiency and speed. The code
+supports compressing points, connectivity information, texture coordinates,
+color information, normals, and any other generic attributes associated with
+geometry. With Draco, applications using 3D graphics can be significantly
+smaller without compromising visual fidelity. For users, this means apps can
+now be downloaded faster, 3D graphics in the browser can load quicker, and VR
+and AR scenes can now be transmitted with a fraction of the bandwidth and
+rendered quickly.
+
+[Draco] is released as C++/Javascript source code that can be used to compress 3D
+graphics as well as decoders for the encoded data.
+
+NPM Package
+===========
+
+The code shows a simple example of using Draco encoder and decoder with Node.js.
+`draco_encoder_node.js` and `draco_decoder_node.js` are modified Javascript
+encoding/decoding files that are compatible with Node.js.
+
+How to run the code:
+
+(1) Install draco3d package :
+
+~~~~~ bash
+$ npm install draco3d
+~~~~~
+
+### Working example
+`draco_nodejs_example.js` has the example code for usage.
+
+(2) Run example code to test:
+
+~~~~~ bash
+$ cp node_modules/draco3d/draco_nodejs_example.js .
+$ cp node_modules/draco3d/bunny.drc .
+$ node draco_nodejs_example.js
+~~~~~
+
+The code loads the [Bunny] model, it will first decode to a mesh
+and then encode it with different settings.
+
+
+### Minimal examples
+These examples only show how to load the encoder and decoder modules. `draco_minimal_encoder_decoder_example.js`, `draco_minimal_encoder_example.js`, and `draco_minimal_decoder_example.js` has the example code for usage.
+
+(2) Run the code to test:
+
+~~~~~ bash
+$ node draco_minimal_encoder_decoder_example.js
+~~~~~
+
+~~~~~ bash
+$ node draco_minimal_encoder_example.js
+~~~~~
+
+~~~~~ bash
+$ node draco_minimal_decoder_example.js
+~~~~~
