+SQuAD
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+`The Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) <https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer//>`__ is a benchmark that evaluates
+the performance of models on question answering. Two versions are available, v1.1 and v2.0. The first version (v1.1) was released together with the paper
+`SQuAD: 100,000+ Questions for Machine Comprehension of Text <https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.05250>`__. The second version (v2.0) was released alongside 
+the paper `Know What You Don't Know: Unanswerable Questions for SQuAD <https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.03822>`__.
+
+This library hosts a processor for each of the two versions:
+
+Processors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Those processors are:
+    - :class:`~transformers.data.processors.utils.SquadV1Processor`
+    - :class:`~transformers.data.processors.utils.SquadV2Processor`
+
+They both inherit from the abstract class :class:`~transformers.data.processors.utils.SquadProcessor`
+
+.. autoclass:: transformers.data.processors.squad.SquadProcessor
+    :members:
+
+Additionally, the following method can be used to convert SQuAD examples into :class:`~transformers.data.processors.utils.SquadFeatures`
+that can be used as model inputs.
+
+.. automethod:: transformers.data.processors.squad.squad_convert_examples_to_features
+
+These processors as well as the aforementionned method can be used with files containing the data as well as with the `tensorflow_datasets` package.
+Examples are given below.
+
+Example usage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Here is an example using the processors as well as the conversion method using data files:
+
+Example::
+
+    # Loading a V2 processor
+    processor = SquadV2Processor()
+    examples = processor.get_dev_examples(squad_v2_data_dir)
+
+    # Loading a V1 processor
+    processor = SquadV1Processor()
+    examples = processor.get_dev_examples(squad_v1_data_dir)
+
+    features = squad_convert_examples_to_features( 
+        examples=examples,
+        tokenizer=tokenizer,
+        max_seq_length=max_seq_length,
+        doc_stride=args.doc_stride,
+        max_query_length=max_query_length,
+        is_training=not evaluate,
+    )
+
+Using `tensorflow_datasets` is as easy as using a data file:
+
+Example::
+
+    # tensorflow_datasets only handle Squad V1.
+    tfds_examples = tfds.load("squad")
+    examples = SquadV1Processor().get_examples_from_dataset(tfds_examples, evaluate=evaluate)
+
+    features = squad_convert_examples_to_features( 
+        examples=examples,
+        tokenizer=tokenizer,
+        max_seq_length=max_seq_length,
+        doc_stride=args.doc_stride,
+        max_query_length=max_query_length,
+        is_training=not evaluate,
+    )
+
+
+Another example using these processors is given in the
+`run_squad.py <https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-transformers/blob/master/examples/run_squad.py>`__ script.
