+## 📖 Introduction
 
 Library `ants` implements a goroutine pool with fixed capacity, managing and recycling a massive number of goroutines, allowing developers to limit the number of goroutines in your concurrent programs.
 
-## Features:
+## 🚀 Features:
 
-- Automatically managing and recycling a massive number of goroutines.
-- Periodically purging overdue goroutines.
-- Friendly interfaces: submitting tasks, getting the number of running goroutines, tuning capacity of pool dynamically, closing pool.
-- Handle panic gracefully to prevent programs from crash.
-- Efficient in memory usage and it even achieves higher performance than unlimited goroutines in golang.

+
+## 🧰 How to install
+
+### For `ants` v1
+
+``` powershell
 go get -u github.com/panjf2000/ants
 ```
 
-Or, using glide:
+### For `ants` v2 (with GO111MODULE=on)
 
-``` sh
-glide get github.com/panjf2000/ants
+```powershell
+go get -u github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2
 ```
 
-## How to use
-Just take a imagination that your program starts a massive number of goroutines, from which a vast amount of memory will be consumed. To mitigate that kind of situation, all you need to do is to import `ants` package and submit all your tasks to a default pool with fixed capacity, activated when package `ants` is imported:
+## 🛠 How to use
+Check out [the examples](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#pkg-examples) for basic usage.
+
+### Functional options for pool
+
+`ants.Options`contains all optional configurations of the ants pool, which allows you to customize the goroutine pool by invoking option functions to set up each configuration in `NewPool`/`NewPoolWithFunc`/`NewPoolWithFuncGeneric` method.
+
+Check out [ants.Options](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#Options) and [ants.Option](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#Option) for more details.
+
+### Customize pool capacity
+
+`ants` supports customizing the capacity of the pool. You can call the `NewPool` method to instantiate a `Pool` with a given capacity, as follows:
 
 ``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-	"fmt"
-	"sync"
-	"sync/atomic"
-	"time"
-
-	"github.com/panjf2000/ants"
-)
-
-var sum int32
-
-func myFunc(i interface{}) {
-	n := i.(int32)
-	atomic.AddInt32(&sum, n)
-	fmt.Printf("run with %d\n", n)
-}
-
-func demoFunc() {
-	time.Sleep(10 * time.Millisecond)
-	fmt.Println("Hello World!")
-}
-
-func main() {
-	defer ants.Release()
-
-	runTimes := 1000
-
-	// Use the common pool.
-	var wg sync.WaitGroup
-	syncCalculateSum := func() {
-		demoFunc()
-		wg.Done()
-	}
-	for i := 0; i < runTimes; i++ {
-		wg.Add(1)
-		ants.Submit(syncCalculateSum)
-	}
-	wg.Wait()
-	fmt.Printf("running goroutines: %d\n", ants.Running())
-	fmt.Printf("finish all tasks.\n")
-
-	// Use the pool with a function,
-	// set 10 to the capacity of goroutine pool and 1 second for expired duration.
-	p, _ := ants.NewPoolWithFunc(10, func(i interface{}) {
-		myFunc(i)
-		wg.Done()
-	})
-	defer p.Release()
-	// Submit tasks one by one.
-	for i := 0; i < runTimes; i++ {
-		wg.Add(1)
-		p.Invoke(int32(i))
-	}
-	wg.Wait()
-	fmt.Printf("running goroutines: %d\n", p.Running())
-	fmt.Printf("finish all tasks, result is %d\n", sum)
-}
+p, _ := ants.NewPool(10000)
 ```
 
-## Integrate with http server
-```go
-package main
-
-import (
-	"io/ioutil"
-	"net/http"
-
-	"github.com/panjf2000/ants"
-)
-
-type Request struct {
-	Param  []byte
-	Result chan []byte
-}
-
-func main() {
-	pool, _ := ants.NewPoolWithFunc(100, func(payload interface{}) {
-		request, ok := payload.(*Request)
-		if !ok {
-			return
-		}
-		reverseParam := func(s []byte) []byte {
-			for i, j := 0, len(s)-1; i < j; i, j = i+1, j-1 {
-				s[i], s[j] = s[j], s[i]
-			}
-			return s
-		}(request.Param)
-
-		request.Result <- reverseParam
-	})
-	defer pool.Release()
-
-	http.HandleFunc("/reverse", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
-		param, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
-		if err != nil {
-			http.Error(w, "request error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
-		}
-		defer r.Body.Close()
-
-		request := &Request{Param: param, Result: make(chan []byte)}
-
-		// Throttle the requests traffic with ants pool. This process is asynchronous and
-		// you can receive a result from the channel defined outside.
-		if err := pool.Invoke(request); err != nil {
-			http.Error(w, "throttle limit error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
-		}
-
-		w.Write(<-request.Result)
-	})
-
-	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
-}
-```
-
-## Submit tasks
-Tasks can be submitted by calling `ants.Submit(func())`
+### Submit tasks
+Tasks can be submitted by calling `ants.Submit`
 ```go
 ants.Submit(func(){})
 ```
 
-## Customize limited pool
-`ants` also supports customizing the capacity of pool. You can invoke the `NewPool` function to instantiate a pool with a given capacity, as following:
-
-``` go
-// Set 10000 the size of goroutine pool
-p, _ := ants.NewPool(10000)
-// Submit a task
-p.Submit(func(){})
-```
-
-## Tune pool capacity in runtime
-You can tune the capacity of  `ants` pool in runtime with `Tune(int)`:
+### Tune pool capacity at runtime
+You can tune the capacity of `ants` pool at runtime with `ants.Tune`:
 
 ``` go
 pool.Tune(1000) // Tune its capacity to 1000
 pool.Tune(100000) // Tune its capacity to 100000
 ```
 
-Don't worry about the synchronous problems in this case, the function here is thread-safe (or should be called goroutine-safe).
+Don't worry about the contention problems in this case, the method here is thread-safe (or should be called goroutine-safe).
 
-## Pre-malloc goroutine queue in pool
+### Pre-malloc goroutine queue in pool
 
-`ants` allows you to pre-allocate memory of goroutine queue in pool, which may get a performance enhancement under some special certain circumstances such as the scenario that requires an pool with ultra-large capacity, meanwhile each task in goroutine lasts for a long time, in this case, pre-mallocing will reduce a lot of costs when re-slicing goroutine queue.

 ```go
-// ants will pre-malloc the whole capacity of pool when you invoke this function
-p, _ := ants.NewPoolPreMalloc(AntsSize)
+// ants will pre-malloc the whole capacity of pool when calling ants.NewPool.
+p, _ := ants.NewPool(100000, ants.WithPreAlloc(true))
 ```
 
-## Release Pool
+### Release pool
 
 ```go
 pool.Release()
 ```
 
+or
 
+```go
+pool.ReleaseTimeout(time.Second * 3)
+```
+
+### Reboot pool
+
+```go
+// A pool that has been released can be still used after calling the Reboot().
+pool.Reboot()
+```
+
+## ⚙️ About sequence
 
-## About sequence
 All tasks submitted to `ants` pool will not be guaranteed to be addressed in order, because those tasks scatter among a series of concurrent workers, thus those tasks would be executed concurrently.

+
+## 🧰 安装
+
+### 使用 `ants` v1 版本:
+
+``` powershell
 go get -u github.com/panjf2000/ants
 ```
 
-使用包管理工具 glide 安装:
+### 使用 `ants` v2 版本 (开启 GO111MODULE=on):
 
-``` sh
-glide get github.com/panjf2000/ants
+```powershell
+go get -u github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2
 ```
 
-## 使用
-写 go 并发程序的时候如果程序会启动大量的 goroutine ，势必会消耗大量的系统资源（内存，CPU），通过使用 `ants`，可以实例化一个协程池，复用 goroutine ，节省资源，提升性能：
+## 🛠 使用
+基本的使用请查看[示例](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#pkg-examples).
+
+### Pool 配置
+
+通过在调用 `NewPool`/`NewPoolWithFunc`/`NewPoolWithFuncGeneric` 之时使用各种 optional function，可以设置 `ants.Options` 中各个配置项的值，然后用它来定制化 goroutine pool。
+
+更多细节请查看 [ants.Options](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#Options) 和 [ants.Option](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#Option)
+
+
+### 自定义 pool 容量
+`ants` 支持实例化使用者自己的一个 Pool，指定具体的 pool 容量；通过调用 `NewPool` 方法可以实例化一个新的带有指定容量的 `Pool`，如下：
 
 ``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-	"fmt"
-	"sync"
-	"sync/atomic"
-	"time"
-
-	"github.com/panjf2000/ants"
-)
-
-var sum int32
-
-func myFunc(i interface{}) {
-	n := i.(int32)
-	atomic.AddInt32(&sum, n)
-	fmt.Printf("run with %d\n", n)
-}
-
-func demoFunc() {
-	time.Sleep(10 * time.Millisecond)
-	fmt.Println("Hello World!")
-}
-
-func main() {
-	defer ants.Release()
-
-	runTimes := 1000
-
-	// Use the common pool.
-	var wg sync.WaitGroup
-	syncCalculateSum := func() {
-		demoFunc()
-		wg.Done()
-	}
-	for i := 0; i < runTimes; i++ {
-		wg.Add(1)
-		ants.Submit(syncCalculateSum)
-	}
-	wg.Wait()
-	fmt.Printf("running goroutines: %d\n", ants.Running())
-	fmt.Printf("finish all tasks.\n")
-
-	// Use the pool with a function,
-	// set 10 to the capacity of goroutine pool and 1 second for expired duration.
-	p, _ := ants.NewPoolWithFunc(10, func(i interface{}) {
-		myFunc(i)
-		wg.Done()
-	})
-	defer p.Release()
-	// Submit tasks one by one.
-	for i := 0; i < runTimes; i++ {
-		wg.Add(1)
-		p.Invoke(int32(i))
-	}
-	wg.Wait()
-	fmt.Printf("running goroutines: %d\n", p.Running())
-	fmt.Printf("finish all tasks, result is %d\n", sum)
-}
+p, _ := ants.NewPool(10000)
 ```
 
-## 与http server集成
-```go
-package main
+### 任务提交
 
-import (
-	"io/ioutil"
-	"net/http"
-
-	"github.com/panjf2000/ants"
-)
-
-type Request struct {
-	Param  []byte
-	Result chan []byte
-}
-
-func main() {
-	pool, _ := ants.NewPoolWithFunc(100, func(payload interface{}) {
-		request, ok := payload.(*Request)
-		if !ok {
-			return
-		}
-		reverseParam := func(s []byte) []byte {
-			for i, j := 0, len(s)-1; i < j; i, j = i+1, j-1 {
-				s[i], s[j] = s[j], s[i]
-			}
-			return s
-		}(request.Param)
-
-		request.Result <- reverseParam
-	})
-	defer pool.Release()
-
-	http.HandleFunc("/reverse", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
-		param, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
-		if err != nil {
-			http.Error(w, "request error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
-		}
-		defer r.Body.Close()
-
-		request := &Request{Param: param, Result: make(chan []byte)}
-
-		// Throttle the requests traffic with ants pool. This process is asynchronous and
-		// you can receive a result from the channel defined outside.
-		if err := pool.Invoke(request); err != nil {
-			http.Error(w, "throttle limit error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
-		}
-
-		w.Write(<-request.Result)
-	})
-
-	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
-}
-```
-
-## 任务提交
-提交任务通过调用 `ants.Submit(func())`方法：
+提交任务通过调用 `ants.Submit` 方法：
 ```go
 ants.Submit(func(){})
 ```
 
-## 自定义池

+## ⚙️ 关于任务执行顺序
 
-- BenchmarkGoroutine-4 代表原生goroutine
+`ants` 并不保证提交的任务被执行的顺序，执行的顺序也不是和提交的顺序保持一致，因为在 `ants` 是并发地处理所有提交的任务，提交的任务会被分派到正在并发运行的 workers 上去，因此那些任务将会被并发且无序地被执行。

-**这里为了模拟大规模goroutine的场景，两次测试的并发次数分别是100w和1000w，前两个测试分别是执行100w个并发任务不使用Pool和使用了`ants`的Goroutine Pool的性能，后两个则是1000w个任务下的表现，可以直观的看出在执行速度和内存使用上，`ants`的Pool都占有明显的优势。100w的任务量，使用`ants`，执行速度与原生goroutine相当甚至略快，但只实际使用了不到5w个goroutine完成了全部任务，且内存消耗仅为原生并发的40%；而当任务量达到1000w，优势则更加明显了：用了70w左右的goroutine完成全部任务，执行速度比原生goroutine提高了100%，且内存消耗依旧保持在不使用Pool的40%左右。**

-**因为`PoolWithFunc`这个Pool只绑定一个任务函数，也即所有任务都是运行同一个函数，所以相较于`Pool`对原生goroutine在执行速度和内存消耗的优势更大，上面的结果可以看出，执行速度可以达到原生goroutine的300%，而内存消耗的优势已经达到了两位数的差距，原生goroutine的内存消耗达到了`ants`的35倍且原生goroutine的每次执行的内存分配次数也达到了`ants`45倍，1000w的任务量，`ants`的初始分配容量是5w，因此它完成了所有的任务依旧只使用了5w个goroutine！事实上，`ants`的Goroutine Pool的容量是可以自定义的，也就是说使用者可以根据不同场景对这个参数进行调优直至达到最高性能。**
