{{language|Groovy}}'''Groovy''' is an object-oriented programming language for the [[Java]] Platform as an alternative to the [[Java]] programming language. It can be viewed as a scripting language for the [[Java]] Platformplatform, as it has features similar to those of [[Python]], [[Ruby]], [[Perl]], and [[Smalltalk]]. In some contexts, the name JSR 241 is used as an alternate identifier for the '''Groovy''' language.
 
 
'''Groovy''' ...
* is an agile and dynamic language for the [[Java]] Virtual Machine]]
* builds upon the strengths of [[Java]] but has additional power features inspired by languages like [[Python]], [[Ruby]] and [[Smalltalk]]
* makes modern programming features available to [[Java]] developers with almost-zero learning curve
* supports Domain Specific Languages and other compact syntax so your code becomes easy to read and maintain
* makes writing shell and build scripts easy with its powerful processing primitives, OO abilities and an Ant DSL
* increases developer productivity by reducing scaffolding code when developing web, [[GUI]], database, or console applications
* simplifies testing by supporting unit testing and mocking out-of-the-box
* seamlessly integrates with all existing [[Java]] objects and libraries
* compiles straight to [[Java]] bytecode so you can use it anywhere you can use Java
