## Remarks

The <xref:System.Data.Common.CommandTrees.ExpressionBuilder> API is used to create expressions, which are represented by <xref:System.Data.Common.CommandTrees.DbExpression> objects. The command tree API provided by the <xref:System.Data.Common.CommandTrees.ExpressionBuilder.DbExpressionBuilder> class has the following characteristics:

- Functional: <xref:System.Data.Common.CommandTrees.DbExpression> objects are constructed using functional patterns that provide a natural flow of construction.

- Loosely-coupled: A <xref:System.Data.Common.CommandTrees.DbExpression> object is not bound to any specific command tree and can be used in any context where type agreement is satisfied.

- Immutable: The API consists entirely of immutable types; mutability may be simulated by substituting new values while rebuilding an expression tree.
