 Usually, you only need to include the schemas you actually need in your dependencies.
+
+The generated code each refers to a single schema. The classes of Avro records will extend `org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecord`. They each have a static `getClassSchema()` function that returns the `Schema` that it was generated from. To read JSON serialized data for example, use the following code:
+
+```java
+public class Deserialize {
+   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
+      //Instantiating the Schema.Parser class.
+      DatumReader<PhoneBatteryLevel> datumReader = new SpecificDatumReader<>(PhoneBatteryLevel.class);
+      DataFileReader<PhoneBatteryLevel> dataFileReader = new DataFileReader<>(new File("/path/to/mydata.avro"), datumReader);
+
+      System.out.println("Reading phone battery levels");
+      PhoneBatteryLevel batteryLevel = null;
+      while (dataFileReader.hasNext()) {
+         batteryLevel = dataFileReader.next(batteryLevel);
+         System.out.println("Phone battery level: " + batteryLevel);
+      }
+      System.out.println("Done");
+   }
+}
+```
+
+Alternatively, use `org.radarcns.data.SpecificRecordEncoder` and `org.radarcns.data.SpecificRecordDecoder` from the `radar-commons` package.
