+# jndn-utils
+
+This project is a collection of tools to simplify synchronous and asynchronous data transfer over the NDN network. It relies on the [NDN Protocol](https://named-data.net) and its associated [client library](https://github.com/named-data/jndn).
+
+## Install
+With Maven, add the following to your POM:
+```
+<dependency>
+ <groupId>com.intel.jndn.utils</groupId>
+ <artifactId>jndn-utils</artifactId>
+ <version>RELEASE</version> <!-- or a specific version -->
+</dependency>
+```
+
+## Use
+Use `Client` or `SegmentedClient` to retrieve data from the network. For example:
+```
+Data data1 = Client.getDefault().getSync(face, name);
+Data data2 = SegmentedClient.getDefault().getSync(face, name);
+```
