+# example
+
+The example middleware prints "example" on every query received. It can be used as documentation for
+writing external middleware and to test if external middleware compiles with CoreDNS.
+
+## Syntax
+
+~~~ txt
+example
+~~~
+
+## Examples
+
+```
+example.com {
+  file example.com.db {
+    upstream 8.8.8.8
+  }
+  example
+}
+```
+
+## How to Enable
+
+Follow [these](/2017/07/25/compile-time-enabling-or-disabling-middleware/) steps.
+*example* should be put relatively early in the middleware chain.
