+## Type-Safe Generic API (Go 1.18+)
+
+For Go 1.18 and later, a generic implementation is available with better type safety and performance. The original `Rbtree` API will continue to be maintained.
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"fmt"
+	"github.com/HuKeping/rbtree"
+)
+
+type MyID int64
+
+func (x MyID) Less(y MyID) bool {
+	return x < y
+}
+
+func main() {
+	tree := rbtree.NewGeneric[MyID]()
+
+	tree.Insert(1)
+	tree.Insert(2)
+	tree.Insert(3)
+
+	// Get returns (value, found)
+	if val, ok := tree.Get(2); ok {
+		fmt.Println(val)
+	}
+
+	// Contains for existence check
+	fmt.Println(tree.Contains(2)) // true
+
+	// ForEach for full traversal
+	tree.ForEach(func(id MyID) bool {
+		fmt.Println(id)
+		return true
+	})
+
+	// Clear all elements
+	tree.Clear()
+}
+```
+
+### Key Differences from Legacy API
+
+| Operation | Legacy (`Rbtree`) | Generic (`GenericRbtree[T]`) |
+|-----------|-------------------|------------------------------|
+| Create | `rbtree.New()` | `rbtree.NewGeneric[T]()` |
+| Get | `Get(key) Item` | `Get(key) (T, bool)` |
+| Delete | `Delete(key) Item` | `Delete(key) (T, bool)` |
+| Min/Max | `Min() Item` | `Min() (T, bool)` |
+| Contains | N/A | `Contains(key) bool` |
+| Clear | N/A | `Clear()` |
+
+The generic version provides:
+- **Compile-time type safety** - no runtime type assertions
+- **Better performance** - 14-31% faster in benchmarks
+- **Zero allocations** for `Get` operation
+- **Explicit success indication** via `(value, bool)` return
