Only when {#element} is called is the actual DOM created. Until that # point, a text/string representation is kept, appended to, and changed. This # makes everything more efficient as touching the DOM is slow. # # +Builder+ implementes most of the methods found on +Element+ to allow it to # be (somewhat) interchangeable with an +Element+ instance for building # complex DOM trees in a more efficient manner class Builder end end
