+### Bitmap-Index Library
+
+This TypeScript library provides a bitmap implementation (`Bitmap`) that allows efficient manipulation of a bitmap data structure, useful for various indexing and set operations.
+
+#### Features
+
+- **Set Operations:** Supports set, remove, contains, and clear operations on the bitmap.
+- **Logical Operations:** Provides AND, AND-NOT, OR, and XOR operations between bitmaps.
+- **Iteration and Filtering:** Includes range iteration and filtering based on user-defined conditions.
+- **Counting and Extremes:** Methods to count set bits (`count`), find the minimum and maximum set bit (`min`, `max`), as well as the minimum and maximum unset bit (`minZero`, `maxZero`).
+- **Cloning:** Supports cloning of the bitmap instance.
+
+#### Installation
+
+You can install the library via npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install bitmap-index
+```
+
+#### Usage Example
+
+```typescript
+import { Bitmap } from 'bitmap-index';
+
+// Create a new Bitmap with a size of 32 bits
+const bitmap = new Bitmap(32);
+
+// Set bits
+bitmap.set(2);
+bitmap.set(5);
+bitmap.set(10);
+
+// Check if a bit is set
+console.log(bitmap.contains(5)); // true
+console.log(bitmap.contains(3)); // false
+
+// Perform logical operations with another bitmap
+const otherBitmap = new Bitmap(32);
+otherBitmap.set(5);
+otherBitmap.set(10);
+
+const andResult = bitmap.and(otherBitmap); // Bitmap with bits [5, 10]
+const orResult = bitmap.or(otherBitmap);   // Bitmap with bits [2, 5, 10]
+const xorResult = bitmap.xor(otherBitmap); // Bitmap with bits [2]
+
+// Iterate over set bits within a range
+bitmap.range((x) => {
+  console.log(`Bit ${x} is set`);
+  return true; // Continue iterating
+});
+
+// Filter based on a condition
+bitmap.filter((x) => x % 2 === 0); // Remove odd-numbered bits
+
+// Count the number of set bits
+console.log(bitmap.count()); // 1
+
+// Find the minimum and maximum set bits
+console.log(bitmap.min()); // 2
+console.log(bitmap.max()); // 10
+
+// Clear all bits
+bitmap.clear();
+
+// Clone the bitmap
+const clonedBitmap = bitmap.clone();
+
+// Further operations can be performed on clonedBitmap...
+```
+
+#### API Documentation
+
+- **Bitmap Class**
+  - **Constructor:** `new Bitmap(size: number = 32)`
+  - **Set Operations:** `set(x: number)`, `remove(x: number)`, `contains(x: number)`, `clear()`
+  - **Logical Operations:** `and(bitmap: Bitmap)`, `andNot(bitmap: Bitmap)`, `or(bitmap: Bitmap)`, `xor(bitmap: Bitmap)`
+  - **Iteration and Filtering:** `range(fn: (x: number) => boolean)`, `filter(fn: (x: number) => boolean)`
+  - **Count and Extremes:** `count()`, `min()`, `max()`, `minZero()`, `maxZero()`
+  - **Cloning:** `clone(): Bitmap`
