-Multipart form support for Actix Web.
+Multipart request & form support for Actix Web.
+
+The [`Multipart`] extractor aims to support all kinds of `multipart/*` requests, including `multipart/form-data`, `multipart/related` and `multipart/mixed`. This is a lower-level extractor which supports reading [multipart fields](Field), in the order they are sent by the client.
+
+Due to additional requirements for `multipart/form-data` requests, the higher level [`MultipartForm`] extractor and derive macro only supports this media type.
 
 ## Examples
 
 ```rust
 use actix_web::{post, App, HttpServer, Responder};
 
-use actix_multipart::form::{json::Json as MPJson, tempfile::TempFile, MultipartForm};
