+# Sessions for Rocket.rs
+
+Adding cookie-based sessions to a rocket application is extremely simple:
+
+```rust
+#![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, decl_macro)]
+#[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
+
+use rocket_session::Session;
+use std::time::Duration;
+
+fn main() {
+    rocket::ignite()
+        .attach(Session::fairing(Duration::from_secs(3600)))
+        .mount("/", routes![index])
+        .launch();
+}
+
+#[get("/")]
+fn index(session: Session) -> String {
+    let mut count: usize = session.get_or_default("count");
+    count += 1;
+    session.set("count", count);
+
+    format!("{} visits", count)
+}
+```
+
+Anything serializable can be stored in the session, just make sure to unpack it to the right type.
+
+The session driver internally uses `serde_json::Value` and the `json_dotpath` crate. 
+Therefore, it's possible to use dotted paths and store the session data in a more structured way.
