About:
Gradle is a powerful build automation tool that supports multi-language development and incremental builds for faster performance. It uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to manage task dependencies and offers both Groovy and Kotlin DSL for writing build scripts.
Key Features:
  • High performance through incremental builds and build caching
  • Flexible dependency management with transitive dependency resolution
  • Extensible via a rich plugin ecosystem for Java, Android, and more
  • Declarative build configuration using Groovy or Kotlin DSL
Use Cases:
  • Compiling and packaging Java, Kotlin, or Scala applications
  • Automating Android app builds and testing
  • Managing complex multi-project builds
Alternatives:
  • Maven – XML-based configuration, more rigid but convention-driven
  • Ant – Imperative and procedural, less opinionated than Gradle
