What is Gradle?

Gradle is widely used for building, testing, publishing, and deploying software packages. It is known for its flexibility and efficiency in managing dependencies and resolving version conflicts. Gradle uses a Groovy-based Domain Specific Language (DSL) for writing build scripts, making it more flexible and readable compared to XML-based build tools like Maven. Gradle supports incremental builds and build caching, which can significantly speed up the build process. It is commonly used for Java, Kotlin, and Android projects but can also be used for Scala.
