+## AST Traversal
+
+### Walk Pattern (Recommended)
+
+The Walk pattern provides a simple and efficient way to traverse AST nodes. Use the `Walk` function to visit all nodes in the AST:
+
+```Go
+import (
+ clickhouse "github.com/AfterShip/clickhouse-sql-parser/parser"
+)
+
+parser := clickhouse.NewParser("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = 1")
+statements, err := parser.ParseStmts()
+if err != nil {
+ return err
+}
+
+// Walk through all nodes in the AST
+clickhouse.Walk(statements[0], func(node clickhouse.Expr) bool {
+ fmt.Printf("Node type: %T\n", node)
+ return true // return false to stop traversal for this subtree
+})
+```
+
+#### Walk Pattern Functions
+
+- **`Walk(node Expr, fn WalkFunc)`** - Traverses all nodes in depth-first order
+- **`WalkWithBreak(node Expr, fn WalkFunc)`** - Allows early termination of traversal
+- **`Find(root Expr, predicate func(Expr) bool)`** - Finds the first node matching a condition
+- **`FindAll(root Expr, predicate func(Expr) bool)`** - Finds all nodes matching a condition
+- **`Transform(root Expr, transformer func(Expr) Expr)`** - Applies transformations to nodes
+
+#### Examples
+
+Find all table identifiers:
+```Go
+tables := clickhouse.FindAll(stmt, func(node clickhouse.Expr) bool {
+ _, ok := node.(*clickhouse.TableIdentifier)
+ return ok
+})
+```
+
+Find the first WHERE clause:
+```Go
+whereClause, found := clickhouse.Find(stmt, func(node clickhouse.Expr) bool {
+ _, ok := node.(*clickhouse.WhereClause)
+ return ok
+})
+```
+
+### Visitor Pattern (Deprecated)
+
+**⚠️ Deprecation Notice**: The visitor pattern (`ASTVisitor` interface) is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Please migrate to the Walk pattern for new code.
+
+The visitor pattern requires implementing the `ASTVisitor` interface with methods for each AST node type. While still functional, it's more verbose and harder to maintain than the Walk pattern.
 ## Update test assets
 
 For the files inside `output` and `format` dir are generated by the test cases,
