+# Cyclist
+
+Cyclist is an efficient [cyclic list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_buffer) implemention for Javascript.
+It is available through npm
+
+ npm install cyclist
+
+## What?
+
+Cyclist allows you to create a list of fixed size that is cyclic.
+In a cyclist list the element following the last one is the first one.
+This property can be really useful when for example trying to order data
+packets that can arrive out of order over a network stream.
+
+## Usage
+
+``` js
+var cyclist = require('cyclist');
+var list = cyclist(4); // if size (4) is not a power of 2 it will be the follwing power of 2
+ // this buffer can now hold 4 elements in total
+
+list.put(42, 'hello 42'); // store something and index 42
+list.put(43, 'hello 43'); // store something and index 43
+
+console.log(list.get(42)); // prints hello 42
+console.log(list.get(46)); // prints hello 42 again since 46 - 42 == list.size
+```
+
+## API
+
+* `cyclist(size)` creates a new buffer
+* `cyclist#get(index)` get an object stored in the buffer
+* `cyclist#put(index,value)` insert an object into the buffer
+* `cyclist#del(index)` delete an object from an index
+* `cyclist#size` property containing current size of buffer
