+# BashOOP
+
+This idea was inspired from https://stackoverflow.com/a/40981277 in order to be adapted into making a proper OOP with constructors, properties and namespace system for bash.
+
+## Reference:
+
+- .shn: **SH**ell **N**amespace
+- .shc: **SH**ell **C**lass
+
+## Example syntax:
+
+### Declaring objects.
+
+`script.sh`:
+This is the main script which will use our objects.
+
+```bash
+. $OOP_ROOT/oop.sh # Import library.
+
+importNamespace Example.shn
+
+Example.Object t "Test"
+```
+
+`Example.shn`:
+This file declares our namespace and all the objects within it.
+
+```bash
+# Namespace declaration.
+namespace Example
+# If namespace is set to null (no argument), then the object will be declared globally.
+# Otherwise, the object will be declared within the namespace.
+
+# Object declaration, from class name to file name.
+class Object "Object.shc"
+
+```
+
+`Object.shc`:
+This file will contain the object code.
+
+```bash
+# Property declaration
+property Object.name
+
+# Optional constructor.
+Object.constructor() {
+    Object.name = $1
+}
+
+# Example function
+Object.print() {
+    echo "Example OOP from $($this.name)!"
+}
+```
