+# Overview
+
+This example shows how to use [@opentelemetry/web](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/master/packages/opentelemetry-web) to instrument your JavaScript code running in the browser.
+This example uses the `ConsoleSpanExporter()` to export spans to the browser console output.
+
+## Installation
+
+```sh
+$ # from this directory
+$ npm install
+```
+
+## Run the Application
+
+```sh
+$ # from this directory
+$ npm start
+```
+
+By default, the application will run on port `8090`.
+
+To see the results, open the browser at <http://localhost:8090/> and make sure you have the browser console open. The application is using the `ConsoleSpanExporter` and will post the created spans to the browser console.
+
+The screen will look as follows:
