Restart the server.

include xml serializers

edit app/models/product.rb
require 'active_model/serializers/xml'
class Product < ApplicationRecord
  include ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
end
edit app/models/order.rb
require 'active_model/serializers/xml'
class Order < ApplicationRecord
  include ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
end

Add the xml format to the controller

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    @latest_order = @product.orders.order(:updated_at).last
    if stale?(@latest_order)
      respond_to do |format|
        format.xml { render :xml => @product }
        format.atom
      end
    end
  end

Fetch the XML, see that there are no orders there

Include "orders" in the response

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    @latest_order = @product.orders.order(:updated_at).last
    if stale?(@latest_order)

        format.xml { render xml: @product.to_xml(include: :orders) }
        format.atom
      end
    end
  end

Fetch the xml, see that the orders are included

      &lt;em&gt;Powerful, Effective, and Efficient Full-Stack Web Development&lt;/em&gt;
      As a Rails developer, you care about user experience and performance,
      but you also want simple and maintainable code. Achieve all that by
      embracing the full stack of web development, from styling with
      Bootstrap, building an interactive user interface with AngularJS, to
      storing data quickly and reliably in PostgreSQL. Take a holistic view of
      full-stack development to create usable, high-performing applications,
      and learn to use these technologies effectively in a Ruby on Rails
      environment.

Define an HTML view

edit app/views/products/who_bought.html.erb
<h3>People Who Bought <%= @product.title %></h3>
 
<ul>
  <% for order in @product.orders %>
    <li>
      <%= mail_to order.email, order.name %>
    </li>
  <% end %>
</ul>

Add the html format to the controller

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    @latest_order = @product.orders.order(:updated_at).last
    if stale?(@latest_order)
      respond_to do |format|
        format.html
        format.xml { render xml: @product.to_xml(include: :orders) }
        format.atom
      end
    end
  end

Anything that XML can do, JSON can too...

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    @latest_order = @product.orders.order(:updated_at).last
    if stale?(@latest_order)
      respond_to do |format|
        format.html
        format.xml { render xml: @product.to_xml(include: :orders) }
        format.atom
        format.json { render json: @product.to_json(include: :orders) }
      end
    end
  end

Fetch the data in JSON format

curl --max-time 15 --silent --user dave:secret http://localhost:3000/products/2/who_bought.json
{"id":2,"title":"Rails, Angular, Postgres, and Bootstrap","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n      \u003cem\u003ePowerful, Effective, and Efficient Full-Stack Web Development\u003c/em\u003e\n      As a Rails developer, you care about user experience and performance,\n      but you also want simple and maintainable code.

Customize the xml

edit app/views/products/who_bought.xml.builder
xml.order_list(:for_product => @product.title) do
  for o in @product.orders
    xml.order do
      xml.name(o.name)
      xml.email(o.email)
    end
  end
end

Change the rendering to use templates

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    @latest_order = @product.orders.order(:updated_at).last
    if stale?(@latest_order)
      respond_to do |format|
        format.html
        format.xml
        format.atom
        format.json { render json: @product.to_json(include: :orders) }
      end
    end
  end

Fetch the (much streamlined) XML

curl --max-time 15 --silent --user dave:secret http://localhost:3000/products/2/who_bought.xml
<order_list for_product="Rails, Angular, Postgres, and Bootstrap">
  <order>
    <name>Dave Thomas</name>

  <order>
    <name>Dave Thomas</name>
    <email>customer@example.com</email>
