 class Example:
+    """A flexible data container for DSPy examples and training data.
+
+    The `Example` class is the standard data format used in DSPy evaluation and optimization.
+
+    Key features:
+        - Dictionary-like access patterns (item access, iteration, etc.)
+        - Flexible initialization from dictionaries, other `Example` instances, or keyword arguments
+        - Input/output field separation for training data
+        - Serialization support for saving/loading `Example` instances
+        - Immutable operations that return new `Example` instances
+
+    Examples:
+
+        Basic usage with keyword arguments:
+
+        ```python
+        import dspy
+
+        # Create an example with input and output fields
+        example = dspy.Example(
+            question="What is the capital of France?",
+            answer="Paris",
+        )
+        print(example.question)  # "What is the capital of France?"
+        print(example.answer)   # "Paris"
+        ```
+
+        Initialize from a dictionary:
+
+        ```python
+        data = {"question": "What is 2+2?", "answer": "4"}
+        example = dspy.Example(data)
+        print(example["question"])  # "What is 2+2?"
+        ```
+
+        Copy from another Example:
+
+        ```python
+        original = dspy.Example(question="Hello", answer="World")
+        copy = dspy.Example(original)
+        print(copy.question)  # "Hello"
+        ```
+
+        Working with input/output separation:
+
+        ```python
+        # Mark which fields are inputs for training
+        example = dspy.Example(
+            question="What is the weather?",
+            answer="It's sunny",
+        ).with_inputs("question")
+
+        # Get only input fields
+        inputs = example.inputs()
+        print(inputs.question)  # "What is the weather?"
+
+        # Get only output fields (labels)
+        labels = example.labels()
+        print(labels.answer)  # "It's sunny"
+        ```
+
+        Dictionary-like operations:
+
+        ```python
+        example = dspy.Example(name="Alice", age=30)
+
+        # Check if key exists
+        if "name" in example:
+            print("Name field exists")
+
+        # Get with default value
+        city = example.get("city", "Unknown")
+        print(city)  # "Unknown"
+        ```
