Feature Request: Improved Documentation for PyShark
Issue Description
The current documentation for PyShark lacks clarity and completeness, making it challenging for users to effectively utilize the library. This feature request is to address the need for comprehensive and user-friendly documentation.
Proposed Solution
I propose an overhaul of the existing documentation to include the following key elements:
1. Introduction
- Brief overview of PyShark and its primary functionalities.
- Target audience and potential use cases.
2. Installation
- Clear and concise instructions for installing PyShark, including any dependencies.
3. Getting Started
- Step-by-step guide for beginners on how to use PyShark.
- Basic examples to demonstrate common use cases.
4. API Reference
- In-depth documentation for all classes, methods, and parameters in PyShark.
- Clear explanations and examples for each function and class.
5. Advanced Usage
- More complex use cases and advanced features explained with examples.
- Tips and best practices for efficient usage.
6. Troubleshooting
- Common issues users might face and their solutions.
- How to report bugs effectively.
7. Contributing
- Guidelines for contributing to PyShark, including how to submit improvements to the documentation.
Good idea, can i help?
Four years ago I created a GitHub repository with PyShark usage examples. I developed this repository after answering two dozen questions on StackOverflow about PyShark. The repository also has a link to PyShark documentation that I developed and actively maintained. I plan to breakdown some of the code examples within the repository to help others use PyShark more efficiently. I'm very open to improving the documentation to help others. Here is a link to the repository, which contains the PyShark documentation. https://github.com/johnbumgarner/pyshark_usage_overview
