+# API
+
+You can use `tslint-to-eslint-config` programmatically in your Node apps.
+It provides a **[`convertTSLintConfig`](#convertTSLintConfig)** function to find relevant configurations on disk and output the generated ESLint configuration.
+
+## `convertTSLintConfig`
+
+```ts
+import { convertTSLintConfig } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const result = await convertTSLintConfig();
+```
+
+Finds relevant configurations on disk and outputs the generated ESLint configuration.
+
+Optionally takes in the same settings you can provide via the CLI:
+
+* `config`: Output ESLint configuration file path _(default: `.eslintrc.js`)_.
+* `eslint`: Original ESLint configuration file path _(default: `.eslintrc.js`)_.
+* `package`: Original packages configuration file path _(default: `package.json`)_.
+* `prettier`: Whether to add `eslint-config-prettier` to the plugins list.
+* `tslint`: Original TSLint configuration file path _(default: `tslint.json`)_.
+* `typescript`: Original TypeScript configuration file path _(default: `tsconfig.json`)_.
+
+```ts
+import { convertTSLintConfig } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const result = await convertTSLintConfig({
+    config: "./path/to/output/eslintrc.js",
+    eslint: "./path/to/input/eslintrc.js",
+    package: "./path/to/package.json", 
+    prettier: true, // Prettier: highly recommended!
+    tslint: "./path/to/tslint.json", 
+    typescript: "./path/to/tsconfig.json", 
+});
+```
+
+If the TSLint configuration or any manually specified configurations fail to read from disk, the result will contain:
+
+* `complaints`: String complaints describing the errors.
+* `status`: `ResultStatus.ConfigurationError` (`2`).
+
+If no error is detected, the result will contain:
+
+* `data`: Resultant ESLint configuration as:
+    * `formatted`: Stringified result per the output config path's file type.
+    * `raw`: Plain old JavaScript object.
+* `status`: `ResultStatus.Succeeded` (`0`).
+
+```ts
+import { convertTSLintConfig, ResultStatus } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const result = await convertTSLintConfig({ /* ... */ });
+
+if (result.status !== ResultStatus.Succeeded) {
+    console.info("Oh no!");
+    console.error(result.complaints.join("\n"));
+} else {
+    console.info("Hooray!");
+    console.log(result.data.formatted);
+    console.log(result.data.raw);
+}
+```
+
+> See the provided `.d.ts` TypeScript typings for full descriptions of inputs and outputs.
+
+## Standalone API
+
+> ⚠ This area of code is still considered experimental.
+> Use at your own risk.
+> Please file an issue on GitHub if you'd like to see changes.
+
+Portions of the individual steps within `convertTSLintConfig` are each available as exported functions as well.
+
+* **[`findOriginalConfigurations`](#findOriginalConfigurations)** takes in an object of original configuration locations and retrieves their raw and computed contents.
+    * **[`findReportedConfiguration`](#findReportedConfiguration)** runs a config print command and parses its output as JSON.
+* **[`createESLintConfiguration`](#createESLintConfiguration)** creates an raw output ESLint configuration summary from those input configuration values.
+    * `joinConfigConversionResults` turns a raw ESLint configuration summary into  ESLint's configuration shape.
+    * `formatOutput` prints that formatted output into a string per the output file extension.
+
+### `findOriginalConfigurations`
+
+Reading in from the default file locations, including `.eslintrc.js`:
+
+```ts
+import { findOriginalConfigurations } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const originalConfigurations = await findOriginalConfigurations();
+```
+
+Overriding some configuration file locations to read from:
+
+```ts
+import { findOriginalConfigurations } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const originalConfigurations = await findOriginalConfigurations({
+    config: "./path/to/.eslintrc.json",
+    tslint: "./another/path/to/tslint.custom.json",
+});
+```
+
+#### `findReportedConfiguration`
+
+Retrieving the reported contents of a TSLint configuration:
+
+```ts
+import { findReportedConfiguration } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const full = await findReportedConfiguration("npx tslint --print-config", "./tslint.json");
+```
+
+### `createESLintConfiguration`
+
+Generating an ESLint configuration from the contents of a local `tslint.json`:
+
+```ts
+import { createESLintConfiguration, findReportedConfiguration } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const summarizedConfiguration = await createESLintConfiguration({
+    tslint: {
+        full: await findReportedConfiguration("npx tslint --print-config", "./tslint.json"),
+        raw: require("./tslint.json"),
+    },
+});
+```
+
+Using the full configuration values from disk:
+
+```ts
+import { createESLintConfiguration, findOriginalConfigurations } from "tslint-to-eslint-config";
+
+const originalConfigurations = await findOriginalConfigurations();
+const summarizedConfiguration = await createESLintConfiguration(originalConfigurations);
+
+const raw = joinConfigConversionResults(summarizedConfiguration, originalConfigurations.data);
+
+const formatted = formatOutput("eslintrc.js", raw);
+```

 TSLint-to-ESLint linter configuration conversion is the first root-level converter run.
 Within `src/converters/lintConfigs/convertLintConfig.ts`, the following steps occur:
 
-1. Raw TSLint rules are mapped to their ESLint equivalents.
-2. Those ESLint equivalents are deduplicated and relevant preset(s) detected.
-3. Those deduplicated rules and metadata are written to the output configuration file.
