Buildap config is declarative because it deals with the "what" rather than the "how." You need to understand the relationships between entities, like in declarative programming, but not necessarily the implementation details (or the how), like in procedural programming. Procedural programming has control flow built-in where declarative removes the flow.

The nature of Buildup config file is declarative like any other XML configuration file. Programs on another hand are procedural.

first comment is correct. Being encoded in XML doesnt mean it is a declarative language. For example Java code also could be encoded into XML - but that doesnt mean it becomes a declarative one. THe key is that the language define 'what' (elements and connectors) and not 'how' (e.g. in which order we process events).
