+When PHP-Parser is used to generate (or modify) code, by first creating an Abstract Syntax Tree and

+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:

+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]`.
+ * `args(array $args)`: Creates an array of function/method arguments, including the required `Arg`
+   wrappers. Also converts literals to AST nodes.
+ * `concat(...$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.
