About:
Gradle is a powerful build automation tool that supports multi-language development and incremental builds for faster performance. It uses a Groovy or Kotlin DSL for flexible build script configuration and offers a rich plugin ecosystem for extending functionality.
Key Features:
  • High-performance incremental builds
  • Groovy and Kotlin DSL support
  • Extensive plugin ecosystem
  • Multi-language project support
Use Cases:
  • Automating builds for Java, Kotlin, and Android projects
  • Managing complex project dependencies and tasks
Alternatives:
  • Maven – XML-based configuration vs Gradle's DSL; Gradle offers incremental builds and better performance
  • Ant – Lower-level task definition vs Gradle's convention-over-configuration approach
