What is Grails?
Grails is a Java-oriented framework for web application
development that makes use of the Apache Groovy Programming
Language.
● Officially introduced in 2008, Grails is quite capable of
optimizing web development for developers and businesses
who wish to spend more time coding than configuring.
● Grails follows the conventional MVC (Model-View-Controller)
architecture, just like many web frameworks.

Grails Prominent Features
1.Coding over Convention (CoC) Paradigm
2. Flat Learning Curve
3. Powerful Features
4. Smooth Java Integration
5. Domain-Specific Languages
6. IDE Support
7. Plugins

What is Groovy?
Groovyis an object-based programming language for the Java
platform.
Grails is a Java framework that is built on top of others like
Spring and Hibernate, but it makes use of the Groovy
programming language due to its low learning curve.

Prominent Features ofGroovy
1. Support for both static and dynamic typing.
2. Support for operator overloading.
3. Native syntax for lists and associative arrays.
4. Native support for regular expressions.
5. Native support for various markup languages such as XML
and HTML.
6. Groovy is simple for Java developers since the syntax for Java
and Groovy are very similar.
7. You can use existing Java libraries.
8. Groovy extends the java.lang.Object.
1. Gradle
Probably themost well-known Groovy utility is Gradle. It was
once hailed as Maven's replacement because to its clean,
concise build files, which eliminated the pom.xml file's
boilerplate of XML. However, it currently coexists with Maven.
Gradle may eventually overtake other build tools as the
preferred choice for Java developers and Java apps, but more
and more developers are switching to it since its build files are
clearer and easier to read.

2. Grails
Built ontop of Spring Boot, another well-liked Java
development framework, Grails is a robust Groovy-based web
application framework for the JVM. The goal of Grails is to
make Java development simpler by utilising Groovy's
expressiveness and simplicity.
For Java developers, Grails is simple to learn since it
incorporates best practises from well-known Java frameworks
including convention-over-configuration, sensible defaults,
opinionated APIs, and the Groovy language.

3. Spock TestingFramework
One of the top Groovy frameworks for unit testing and
specification is called Spock, and if you are passionate about
testing in Java, you may have heard of it. Spock may be used to
create unit tests for both Java and Groovy applications.
JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans, and other
well-known Java technologies serve as inspiration for Spock.
It stands out from the competition thanks to its stunning and
highly expressive specification language. Spock is compatible
with the majority of IDEs, build tools, and continuous
integration servers because of its JUnit runner.
