DESCRIPTION
gradle is a build automation tool for Java, Kotlin, Android, and other JVM projects. It uses Groovy or Kotlin DSL for build scripts and provides dependency management, incremental builds, and an extensive plugin ecosystem.
Gradle is the standard build system for Android development and supports multi-project builds with a persistent daemon for faster execution.
