+# Using ES Modules
+
+The Functions Framework >= `1.9.0` supports loading your code as an ES Module.
+
+ECMAScript modules (ES modules or ESM) are a TC39 standard, unflagged feature in Node >=14 for loading JavaScript modules. As opposed to CommonJS, ESM provides an asynchronous API for loading modules and provides a very commonly adopted syntax improvement via `import` and `export` statements.
+
+## Example
+
+Before:
+
+```js
+exports.helloGET = (req, res) => {
+ res.send('No ESM.');
+};
+```
+
+After:
+
+```js
+export const helloGET = (req, res) => {
+ res.send('ESM!');
+};
+```
+
+## Quickstart

+
+Create a `package.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "module",
+  "scripts": {
+    "start": "functions-framework --target=helloGET"
+  },
+  "main": "index.js",
+  "dependencies": {
+    "@google-cloud/functions-framework": "^1.9.0"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Create a `index.js` file:
+
+```js
+export const helloGET = (req, res) => {
+  res.send('ESM!');
+};
+```
+
+Install dependencies and start the framework:
+
+```sh
+npm i
+npm start
+```
+
+Go to `localhost:8080/` and see your function execute!
