Hi,

Thoses two concepts are not comparable because it is not for the same purpose.

The expand stands for empower your entity. For example, you have an order with its items, the expand is the relaton between the order and the items.

we use the term "deep" in the inserting or updating process, when you want to insert in one call the order + all its items. In that case it is a deep insert.
