Gradle vs Maven

Gradle and Maven are both popular build automation tools used for Java projects. They both provide a way to manage dependencies, compile code, and run tests. However, they have different approaches and strengths that make them suitable for different use cases. Gradle Gradle is a general-purpose build automation tool that uses a Groovy-based domain-specific language (DSL) to define build scripts. This DSL is more powerful and flexible than Maven's XML-based configuration, making Gradle a good choice for complex projects with a lot of custom build logic. Gradle is also known for its performance, as it uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to represent the project's dependencies. This DAG allows Gradle to avoid unnecessary work, which can make builds significantly faster, especially for large projects. Maven Maven is a more opinionated build automation tool that uses a pre-defined set of phases and goals to manage the build process. This makes Maven a good choice for simple projects...
