+AST builders
+============
+
+When PHP-Parser is used to generate (or modify) code by first creating an Abstract Syntax Tree and
+then using the [pretty printer](Pretty_printing.markdown) to convert it to PHP code, it can often
+be tedious to manually construct AST nodes. The project provides a number of utilities to simplify
+the construction of common AST nodes.
+
+Fluent builders
+---------------
+
+The library comes with a number of builders, which allow creating node trees using a fluent
+interface. Builders are created using the `BuilderFactory` and the final constructed node is
+accessed through `getNode()`. Fluent builders are available for
+the following syntactic elements:
+
+ * namespaces and use statements
+ * classes, interfaces and traits
+ * methods, functions and parameters
+ * properties
+
+Here is an example:
+
+```php
+use PhpParser\BuilderFactory;
+use PhpParser\PrettyPrinter;
+use PhpParser\Node;
+
+$factory = new BuilderFactory;
+$node = $factory->namespace('Name\Space')
+    ->addStmt($factory->use('Some\Other\Thingy')->as('SomeClass'))
+    ->addStmt($factory->useFunction('strlen'))
+    ->addStmt($factory->useConst('PHP_VERSION'))
+    ->addStmt($factory->class('SomeOtherClass')
+        ->extend('SomeClass')
+        ->implement('A\Few', '\Interfaces')
+        ->makeAbstract() // ->makeFinal()
+
+        ->addStmt($factory->useTrait('FirstTrait'))
+
+        ->addStmt($factory->useTrait('SecondTrait', 'ThirdTrait')
+            ->and('AnotherTrait')
+            ->with($factory->traitUseAdaptation('foo')->as('bar'))
+            ->with($factory->traitUseAdaptation('AnotherTrait', 'baz')->as('test'))
+            ->with($factory->traitUseAdaptation('AnotherTrait', 'func')->insteadof('SecondTrait')))
+
+        ->addStmt($factory->method('someMethod')
+            ->makePublic()
+            ->makeAbstract() // ->makeFinal()
+            ->setReturnType('bool') // ->makeReturnByRef()
+            ->addParam($factory->param('someParam')->setType('SomeClass'))
+            ->setDocComment('/**
+                              * This method does something.
+                              *
+                              * @param SomeClass And takes a parameter
+                              */')
+        )
+
+        ->addStmt($factory->method('anotherMethod')
+            ->makeProtected() // ->makePublic() [default], ->makePrivate()
+            ->addParam($factory->param('someParam')->setDefault('test'))
+            // it is possible to add manually created nodes
+            ->addStmt(new Node\Expr\Print_(new Node\Expr\Variable('someParam')))
+        )
+
+        // properties will be correctly reordered above the methods
+        ->addStmt($factory->property('someProperty')->makeProtected())
+        ->addStmt($factory->property('anotherProperty')->makePrivate()->setDefault(array(1, 2, 3)))
+    )
+
+    ->getNode()
+;
+
+$stmts = array($node);
+$prettyPrinter = new PrettyPrinter\Standard();
+echo $prettyPrinter->prettyPrintFile($stmts);
+```
+
+This will produce the following output with the standard pretty printer:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Name\Space;
+
+use Some\Other\Thingy as SomeClass;
+use function strlen;
+use const PHP_VERSION;
+abstract class SomeOtherClass extends SomeClass implements A\Few, \Interfaces
+{
+    use FirstTrait;
+    use SecondTrait, ThirdTrait, AnotherTrait {
+        foo as bar;
+        AnotherTrait::baz as test;
+        AnotherTrait::func insteadof SecondTrait;
+    }
+    protected $someProperty;
+    private $anotherProperty = array(1, 2, 3);
+    /**
+     * This method does something.
+     *
+     * @param SomeClass And takes a parameter
+     */
+    public abstract function someMethod(SomeClass $someParam) : bool;
+    protected function anotherMethod($someParam = 'test')
+    {
+        print $someParam;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Additional helper methods
+-------------------------
+
+The `BuilderFactory` also provides a number of additional helper methods, which directly return
+nodes. The following methods are currently available:
+
+ * `val($value)`: Creates an AST node for a literal value like `42` or `[1, 2, 3]`.
+ * `var($name)`: Creates variable node.
+ * `args(array $args)`: Creates an array of function/method arguments, including the required `Arg`
+   wrappers. Also converts literals to AST nodes.
+ * `funcCall($name, array $args = [])`: Create a function call node. Converts `$name` to a `Name`
+   node and normalizes arguments.
+ * `methodCall(Expr $var, $name, array $args = [])`: Create a method call node. Converts `$name` to
+   an `Identifier` node and normalizes arguments.
+ * `staticCall($class, $name, array $args = [])`: Create a static method call node. Converts
+   `$class` to a `Name` node, `$name` to an `Identifier` node and normalizes arguments.
+ * `new($class, array $args = [])`: Create a "new" (object creation) node. Converts `$class` to a
+   `Name` node.
+ * `constFetch($name)`: Create a constant fetch node. Converts `$name` to a `Name` node.
+ * `classConstFetch($class, $name)`: Create a class constant fetch node. Converts `$class` to a
+   `Name` node and `$name` to an `Identifier` node.
+ * `propertyFetch($var, $name)`: Creates a property fetch node. Converts `$name` to an `Identifier`
+   node.
+ * `concat(...$exprs)`: Create a tree of `BinaryOp\Concat` nodes for the given expressions.
+
+These methods may be expanded on an as-needed basis. Please open an issue or PR if a common
+operation is missing.
