 - Create a JSON file for each model, using the model name as the filename. Example: Product.json would update the Product model
 - Use nested arrays in place of hardcoded IDs for relationships
 - Run `php artisan data:sync`
+

+## Examples
+**User.json**:
+```json
+[
+    {
+        "name": "Ferris Bueller",
+        "properties->title": "Leisure Consultant",
+        "phone_numbers->mobile": "555-555-5555",
+        "phone_numbers->office": "", // empty values are skipped
+        "_email": "ferris@buellerandco.com", // the criteria/attributes for updateOrCreate are identified with a preleading underscore
+        "department": { // nested values represent relationships and are returned using where($key, $value)->first()
+            "name": "Management",
+            "location": {
+                "name": "Chicago"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+]
+```
+
+translates to:
+
+```php
+
+User::updateOrCreate([
+    'email' => 'ferris@buellerandco.com',
+],[
+	'name': 'Ferris Bueller',
+    'properties->title' => 'Leisure Consultant',
+    'phone_numbers->mobile' => '555-555-5555',
+    'department_id' => Department::where('name', 'Management)
+                        ->where('location_id', Location::where('name', 'Chicago')->first()->id)
+                        ->first()
+                        ->id,
