Research direction

Start by reviewing TinyDB's API reference and the code to identify the classes and relationships the proposal should cover. Define the diagram's scope and the accompanying high-level explanation, then ensure the documentation gives contributors an accurate overview without requiring them to read the entire codebase.

Description

contributions-welcome

I was thinking of adding a Class Diagram and a simple explanation on how the classes correlate. Instead of having to read all of the API reference and the entire code to learn how the code works, people could start learning first on a high level explanation. This would be helpful for who wants to learn about the project and who wants to contribute later (that's my case).

The diagram could be something like this:

Alongside with a high level explanation. What you think @msiemens? I hope to hear from you before I create a pull request about this.

Regards,
Mateus Antonio
