The only Ruby Library I've found in the last 2 weeks that seems to do XMl output is: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby/ruby_xml_xslt.htm However the builder API is nice and for me personally worth the slightly longer output. However saying that I managed to output 100 records to XML within 10 seconds and I don't think it's builder slowing things down.

It made me think perhaps there's a faster way of generating XML than using XML builder. I did a quick search and did not find any alternatives, or anyone talking about XML builder's performance issues. Is there anyway of optimizing XML Builder? Or is there a faster alternative? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
