I would like to see how is Builder pattern used in real world applications/APIs. The examples I found are all pizzas, cakes, cars et cetera (plus the parser example from the GoF

    Actually a very good real-life example is Active Record QueryBuilder example.

    You can dig into the Laravel Eloquent module and check those Query builder classes...

    A quick example of how it could look:

    interface SqlQueryBuilder
    {
        public function select(string $table, array $fields): SqlQueryBuilder;
    
        public function where(string $field, string $value, string $operator = '='): SqlQueryBuilder;
    
        public function limit(int $start, int $offset): SqlQueryBuilder;
    
        // ... other methods
    
        public function getSQL(): string;
    }
    
    class MysqlQueryBuilder implements SqlQueryBuilder
    {
        // ...
    }
    
    class PostgresQueryBuilder extends MysqlQueryBuilder
    {
        // ...
    }

    Update: I recently came across an even better example (imo). Checkout the JobBuilder and TriggerBuilder implementations in the Quartz scheduler package: http://quartz-scheduler.org/api/2.1.5/

    Also, when I have time, just for fun/practice, I try to write examples of all GoF patterns in java. Just recently, I used the Builder pattern to make it easy to generate different types of Sitemaps (google site map vs, html site map, etc). The code is in java, but you might be useful: https://github.com/dparoulek/java-koans/tree/master/src/main/java/com/upgradingdave/koans/builder

    Good question, I'd be interested in seeing more modern examples too.

    Builder pattern is used in javax.json.Json and javax.json.JsonBuilder classes while building Json objects.

    Good explanation is at http://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/index.php?api=javax.json.JsonObjectBuilder and also check out its official documentation.

    JsonObjectBuilder b = Json.createObjectBuilder().
                add( "report", Json.createObjectBuilder().
                     add( "reportId", reportId ).
                     add( "title", title ).
                     add( "subtitle", subTitle == null ? "" : subTitle ).
                     add( "created", created.toString() ).
                     add( "description", description == null ? "" : description ).
                     add( "data", report )
                );
    return b.build();
