 See https://github.com/Redocly/redocly-cli
 
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+The `openapi-core package` is designed for our internal use; the interfaces that are considered safe to use are documented below.
+Some of the function arguments are not documented below because they are not intended for public use.
+Avoid using any functions or features that are not documented below.
+If your use case is not documented below, please open an issue.
+
 ## Basic usage
 
-### Lint
+### Lint from file system
+
+[Lint](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/commands/lint/) a file, optionally with a [config file](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/configuration/).
 
 ```js
-import { formatProblems, lint, loadConfig } from '@redocly/openapi-core';
+import { lint, loadConfig } from '@redocly/openapi-core';
 
 const pathToApi = 'openapi.yaml';
-const config = loadConfig({ configPath: 'optional/path/to/.redocly.yaml' });
+const config = await loadConfig({ configPath: 'optional/path/to/redocly.yaml' });
 const lintResults = await lint({ ref: pathToApi, config });
 ```
 
-### Bundle
+The content of `lintResults` describes any errors or warnings found during linting; an empty array means no problems were found.
+For each problem, the rule, severity, feedback message and a location object are provided.
+To learn more, [check the `lint` function section](#lint).
+
+### Bundle from file system
+
+[Bundle](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/commands/bundle/) an API description into a single structure, optionally with a [config file](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/configuration/).
 
 ```js
-import { formatProblems, bundle, loadConfig } from '@redocly/openapi-core';
+import { bundle, loadConfig } from '@redocly/openapi-core';
 
 const pathToApi = 'openapi.yaml';
-const config = loadConfig({ configPath: 'optional/path/to/.redocly.yaml' });
+const config = await loadConfig({ configPath: 'optional/path/to/redocly.yaml' });
-const { bundle, problems } = await bundle({ ref: pathToApi, config });
+const bundleResults = await bundle({ ref: pathToApi, config });
 ```
+
+In `bundleResults`, the `bundle.parsed` field has the bundled API description.
+For more information, [check the `bundle` function section](#bundle).
+
+### Lint from memory with config
+
+[Lint](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/commands/lint/) an API description, with configuration defined. This is useful if the API description you're working with isn't a file on disk.
+
+```js
+import { lintFromString, createConfig, stringifyYaml } from '@redocly/openapi-core';
+
+const config = await createConfig(
+  {
+    extends: ['minimal'],
+    rules: {
+      'operation-description': 'error',
+    },
+  },
+  {
+    // optionally provide config path for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+    configPath: 'optional/path/to/redocly.yaml',
+  }
+);
+const source = stringifyYaml({ openapi: '3.0.1' /* ... */ }); // you can also use JSON.stringify
+const lintResults = await lintFromString({
+  source,
+  // optionally pass path to the file for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+  absoluteRef: 'optional/path/to/openapi.yaml',
+  config,
+});
+```
+
+### Lint from memory with a custom plugin
+
+[Lint](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/commands/lint/) an API description, with configuration including a [custom plugin](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/custom-plugins/) to define a rule.
+
+```js
+import { lintFromString, createConfig, stringifyYaml } from '@redocly/openapi-core';
+
+const CustomRule = (ruleOptions) => {
+  return {
+    Operation() {
+      // some rule logic
+    },
+  };
+};
+
+const config = await createConfig({
+  extends: ['recommended'],
+  plugins: [
+    {
+      id: 'pluginId',
+      rules: {
+        oas3: {
+          customRule1: CustomRule,
+        },
+        oas2: {
+          customRule1: CustomRule, // if the same rule can handle both oas3 and oas2
+        },
+      },
+      decorators: {
+        // ...
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+  // enable rule
+  rules: {
+    'pluginId/customRule1': 'error',
+  },
+  decorators: {
+    // ...
+  },
+});
+
+const source = stringifyYaml({ openapi: '3.0.1' /* ... */ }); // you can also use JSON.stringify
+const lintResults = await lintFromString({
+  source,
+  // optionally pass path to the file for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+  absoluteRef: 'optional/path/to/openapi.yaml',
+  config,
+});
+```
+
+### Bundle from memory
+
+[Bundle](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/commands/bundle/) an API description into a single structure, using default configuration.
+
+```js
+import { bundleFromString, createConfig } from '@redocly/openapi-core';
+
+const config = await createConfig({}); // create empty config
+const source = stringifyYaml({ openapi: '3.0.1' /* ... */ }); // you can also use JSON.stringify
+const bundleResults = await bundleFromString({
+  source,
+  // optionally pass path to the file for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+  absoluteRef: 'optional/path/to/openapi.yaml',
+  config,
+});
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `createConfig`
+
+Creates a config object from a JSON or YAML string or JS object.
+Resolves remote config from `extends` (if there are URLs or local fs paths).
+
+```ts
+async function createConfig(
+  // JSON or YAML string or object with Redocly config
+  config: string | RawUniversalConfig,
+  options?: {
+    // optional path to the config file for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+    configPath?: string;
+  }
+): Promise<Config>;
+```
+
+### `loadConfig`
+
+Loads a config object from a file system. If `configPath` is not provided,
+it tries to find `redocly.yaml` in the current working directory.
+
+```ts
+async function loadConfig(options?: {
+  // optional path to the config file for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+  configPath?: string;
+  // allows to add custom `extends` additionally to one from the config file
+  customExtends?: string[];
+}): Promise<Config>;
+```
+
+### `lint`
+
+Lint an OpenAPI document from the file system.
+
+```ts
+async function lint(options: {
+  // path to the OpenAPI document root
+  ref: string;
+  // config object
+  config: Config;
+}): Promise<NormalizedProblem[]>;
+```
+
+### `lintFromString`
+
+Lint an OpenAPI document from a string.
+
+```ts
+async function lintFromString(options: {
+  // OpenAPI document string
+  source: string;
+  // optional path to the OpenAPI document for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+  absoluteRef?: string;
+  // config object
+  config: Config;
+}): Promise<NormalizedProblem[]>;
+```
+
+### `bundle`
+
+Bundle an OpenAPI document from the file system.
+
+```ts
+async function bundle(options: {
+  // path to the OpenAPI document root
+  ref: string;
+  // config object
+  config: Config;
+  // whether to fully dereference $refs, resulting document won't have any $ref
+  // warning: this can produce circular objects
+  dereference?: boolean;
+  // whether to remove unused components (schemas, parameters, responses, etc)
+  removeUnusedComponents?: boolean;
+  // whether to keep $ref pointers to the http URLs and resolve only local fs $refs
+  keepUrlRefs?: boolean;
+}): Promise<{
+    bundle: {
+      parsed: object; // OpenAPI document object as js object
+    };
+    problems: NormalizedProblem[]
+    fileDependencies
+    rootType
+    refTypes
+    visitorsData
+
+  }>;
+```
+
+### `bundleFromString`
+
+Bundle an OpenAPI document from a string.
+
+```ts
+async function bundleFromString(options: {
+  // OpenAPI document string
+  source: string;
+  // optional path to the OpenAPI document for resolving $refs and proper error locations
+  absoluteRef?: string;
+  // config object
+  config: Config;
+  // whether to fully dereference $refs, resulting document won't have any $ref
+  // warning: this can produce circular objects
+  dereference?: boolean;
+  // whether to remove unused components (schemas, parameters, responses, etc)
+  removeUnusedComponents?: boolean;
+  // whether to keep $ref pointers to the http URLs and resolve only local fs $refs
+  keepUrlRefs?: boolean;
+}): Promise<{
+    bundle: {
+      parsed: object; // OpenAPI document object as js object
+    };
+    problems: NormalizedProblem[]
+    fileDependencies
+    rootType
+    refTypes
+    visitorsData
+
+  }>;
+```
+
+### `stringifyYaml`
+
+Helper function to stringify a javascript object to YAML.
+
+```ts
+function stringifyYaml(obj: object): string;
+```
