 Utility library for parsing and processing the [Partisia Blockchain's ABI format](https://partisiablockchain.gitlab.io/documentation/smart-contracts/smart-contract-binary-formats.html)..
 
+## Example usage
+
+This example is based upon the [Token Contract example contract](https://gitlab.com/partisiablockchain/language/example-contracts).
+It assumes a compiled ABI in `token.abi` and a blockchain state stored in `token_state.bin`.
+
+```py
+# Imports
+from pbcabi.binaryreader import BinaryReader
+import pbcabi.model
+
+# Read ABI
+with open('token.abi', 'rb') as f:
+    TOKEN_ABI = pbcabi.model.FileAbi.read_from(BinaryReader(f.read()))
+
+with open('token_state.bin', 'rb') as f:
+    state_bytes = f.read()
+
+# Read structure TokenState from state_bytes
+token_state = TOKEN_ABI.contract.read_state('TokenState', BinaryReader(state_bytes))
+
+my_address = BlockchainAddress.from_hex_hash("00e72e44eab933faaf1fd4ce94bb57e08bff98a1ed")
+
+print(token_state['name'])
+> MyToken
+print(token_state['balances'][my_address])
+> 213112
+```
