## Quick Example (Luau)

```lua
local world = jecs.World.new()
local Position = world:component() :: jecs.Entity<Vector3>
local Velocity = world:component() :: jecs.Entity<Vector3>

local entity = world:entity()
world:set(entity, Position, Vector3.new(0, 0, 0))
world:set(entity, Velocity, Vector3.new(1, 0, 0))

-- Update system (example)
for id, position, velocity in world:query(Position, Velocity) do
    world:set(id, Position, position + velocity)
end
```

## Quick Example (TypeScript)

```typescript
import { World } from "@rbxts/jecs";

const world = new World();
const Position = world.component<Vector3>();
const Velocity = world.component<Vector3>();

const entity = world.entity();
world.set(entity, Position, new Vector3(0, 0, 0));
world.set(entity, Velocity, new Vector3(1, 0, 0));

// Update system (example)
for (const [id, position, velocity] of world.query(Position, Velocity)) {
    world.set(id, Position, position.add(velocity));
}
```

## Performance

Benchmark results demonstrating Jecs' performance are available in the documentation.  These include query and insertion performance tests.

## Installation

### Using Wally (Luau)

Add Jecs to your `wally.toml`:

Using Wally (recommended):
```toml
[dependencies]
jecs = "ukendio/jecs@0.2.3"
```

Then run:

```bash
wally install
```

### Using npm (Roblox-ts)

```bash
npm install @rbxts/jecs
```

### Standalone Installation

1. Download `jecs.rbxm` from the [releases page](https://github.com/ukendio/jecs/releases).
2. Import it into your Roblox project.
