Summary

This PR completes the documentation improvements by:

  • Fixing incorrect license badge (was showing MIT, should be Apache-2.0)
  • Adding all documentation files that were referenced in the README

Changes Made

License Correction

  • Fixed badge from MIT to Apache-2.0 to match actual LICENSE file

Documentation Added

Created comprehensive documentation in docs/ directory:

  • user-guide.md: Complete PURL concepts, usage guide, ecosystem support, and troubleshooting
  • api.md: Python API reference with all functions, classes, and data types
  • examples.md: Ecosystem-specific examples, batch processing, and integration workflows

Documentation Features

  • Examples for all supported ecosystems (NPM, PyPI, Maven, Cargo, etc.)
  • CI/CD integration for GitHub Actions and Jenkins
  • Docker and Makefile integration patterns
  • Batch processing and automation scripts
  • Advanced scenarios like mirror creation and compliance checks

Why These Changes Are Important

  1. License Accuracy: The project uses Apache-2.0 license, not MIT. Having incorrect badges creates confusion and potential legal issues.

  2. Documentation Completeness: The README referenced documentation files that didn't exist. This PR creates all referenced documentation.

  3. Developer Experience: Provides comprehensive guides for using both CLI and Python API effectively.

Test Plan

  • Verify LICENSE file shows Apache-2.0
  • Check all documentation links in README work
  • Ensure markdown formatting is correct
  • Validate code examples in documentation

Related Issues

Completes the README standardization and ensures all referenced documentation exists.

- Correct license badge from MIT to Apache-2.0 (matching actual LICENSE file)

  - user-guide.md: PURL concepts, usage, ecosystems, troubleshooting
  - api.md: Python API reference with functions and classes
  - examples.md: Ecosystem-specific examples and integration workflows
- Documentation includes batch processing and CI/CD integration
- Provides Docker, Makefile, and automation examples
- All documentation files referenced in README now exist

This ensures the project has accurate licensing information and complete
