title: What are the advantages of using Builder over regular xml files?
body: <p>I have a Rails application which is using the Builder gem for writing easy to use XML files.</p>
  
  <p>I am very much satisfied with the Builder gem but, as per my product architect's view, we should always use simple .xml files instead of using third party tools.</p>
  
  <p>So, I need to give a solid justification to him explaining to him about the advantages of using Builder over regular XML files in our Rails application.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone give or guide me to a valid justification on the usage of Builder over regualr RXML/XML files in a Rails application?</p>
