Groovy is an open-source, dynamic programming language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It enhances Java by offering a more concise and flexible syntax while maintaining full interoperability with Java code. Groovy is widely used for scripting, automation, building web applications, and simplifying DevOps tasks.

Features of Groovy:

• Simplified and expressive syntax that is fully compatible with Java.
• Dynamic typing and static typing support for flexible development.
• Built-in support for scripting, domain-specific languages (DSLs), and testing.
• Seamless integration with Java libraries, frameworks, and tools.
• Powerful GDK (Groovy Development Kit) for enhanced collection handling and file I/O.
• Supports functional programming with closures and higher-order functions.
• Widely used in automation tools like Jenkins for pipeline scripting.
• Easy-to-use template engines for web development.
