+# AR.js Studio Backend
+
+## Introduction
+
+This project provides general functionality for the AR.js Studio Frontend, e.g. barcode/matrix code generation,
+pattern image generation etc. It is a separate project in order to be able to maintain functionality that is
+independent from the concrete frontend implementation.
+
+## Developing
+
+For maintaining a consistent code style while developing, please use Visual Studio Code with the Pretter plugin
+installed.
+
+To run the internal test suite, execute `npm run test`.
