+0.5.0 / 2025-12-08
+ - Refactored `ppd` function for improved CLI test handling with conditional exit strategy    
+ - Added support for automatic object-to-array conversion in `PrettyPrint` (`asArray()`/`toArray()`)
+ - Added namespace declaration to global helper functions
+
 0.4.3 / 2025-12-05
  - Default precision increased from 2 to 4
  - Refactor `PrettyPrint` for modularity: extract formatting logic into dedicated private methods

 Note: When used in web (non-CLI) environments, output is automatically wrapped in `<pre>` to preserve spacing. In CLI, no wrapping is applied. When you request a string to be returned (see `return` option), no auto-wrapping is applied.
 
+### Import functions
+
+All examples below assume you have imported the helper functions from the `Apphp\PrettyPrint` namespace, for example:
+
+```php
+use function Apphp\PrettyPrint\pprint;
+use function Apphp\PrettyPrint\pp;
+use function Apphp\PrettyPrint\ppd;
+```
+or simply
+```php
+use function Apphp\PrettyPrint\{pprint, pp, ppd};
+```

+### Objects with `asArray()` / `toArray()`
+
+If you pass an object that exposes an `asArray()` or `toArray()` method, `pprint` / `PrettyPrint` will automatically convert it to an array before formatting:
+
+```php
+class UserCollection
+{
+    public function asArray(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Alice'],
+            ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Bob'],
+        ];
+    }
+}
+
+$users = new UserCollection();
+
+pprint($users);
+// [[1, 'Alice'],
+//  [2, 'Bob']]
+```
+
+If `asArray()` is not present but `toArray()` is, `toArray()` will be used instead.
+
