Weird question but I recently started learning javafx and came out the fxml thing. Is it a good practice to use it?

Weird question but I recently started learning javafx and came out the fxml thing. Is it a good practice to use it?

Using FXML in JavaFX is generally considered a good practice for several reasons:

1. Separation of Concerns: FXML separates the UI layout from the application logic, making your code cleaner and easier to maintain.
2. Visual Editing Support: Tools like Scene Builder allow you to design UIs visually, which speeds up development and reduces errors.
3. Readability: FXML files are XML-based and readable, making it easier for teams to collaborate between designers and developers.
4. Reusability: You can reuse components and customize them via FXML without touching the Java code.
5. Scalability: Larger projects benefit from the modularity FXML provides.

However, for very simple or dynamically generated UIs, programmatic creation of UI elements might be preferable for quick adjustments or when FXML overhead isn't justified.

In summary, FXML is recommended especially for medium to large projects or when working in a team, but you can mix approaches depending on the use case.
