+Missing composer.json
+---------------------
+
+Example PHP:
+```
+<?php
+
+require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
+
+use HaydenPierce\ClassFinder\ClassFinder;
+
+$classes = ClassFinder::getClassesInNamespace('Acme\Foo\Bar');
+```
+
+Results in this exception:
+
+> Could not locate composer.json. You can get around this by setting ClassFinder::$appRoot manually.
+
+ClassFinder requires a composer.json to load autoloading settings. In this situation, ClassFinder wasn't able to 
+find it when recursively searching for it. You will need to tell ClassFinder where the root of your application is - this
+is the directory that contains the composer.json configuration and where classes will be searched out of.
+
+```
+<?php
+
+require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
+
+use HaydenPierce\ClassFinder\ClassFinder;
+
+ClassFinder::$appRoot = realpath(__DIR__ . '../../app/'); // This is suggesting that the app root is really someone else.
+$classes = ClassFinder::getClassesInNamespace('Acme\Foo\Bar');
+```
+
+This is an exotic situation and shouldn't apply to most projects.
