Maven vs Gradle

What is Gradle?

Gradle Build Tool is a fast, dependable, and adaptable open-source build automation tool with an elegant and extensible declarative build language.

Gradle is a widely used and mature tool with an active community and a strong developer ecosystem.

•           Gradle is the most popular build system for the JVM and is the default system for Android and Kotlin Multi-Platform projects. It has a rich community plugin ecosystem.

•           Gradle can automate a wide range of software build scenarios using either its built-in functionality, third-party plugins, or custom build logic.

•           Gradle provides a high-level, declarative, and expressive build language that makes it easy to read and write build logic.

•           Gradle is fast, scalable, and can build projects of any size and complexity.

•           Gradle produces dependable results while benefiting from optimizations such as incremental builds, build caching, and parallel execution.

 

What is Maven ?

Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.

Maven's primary goal is to allow a developer to comprehend the complete state of a development effort in the shortest period of time. In order to attain this goal, Maven deals with several areas of concern:

•           Making the build process easy

•           Providing a uniform build system

•           Providing quality project information

•           Encouraging better development practices

Feature

Maven

Gradle

Build Configuration

Uses XML ("pom.xml" file)

Uses Groovy-based DSL or Kotlin ("build.gradle" file)

Flexibility

Follows convention over configuration

Emphasizes flexibility and customization

Performance

Generally considered slower

Known for better performance, supports incremental builds

Plugin Ecosystem

Mature and extensive plugins available

Rich plugin ecosystem, allows easy plugin development

Learning Curve

Steeper learning curve due to XML and conventions

More user-friendly, expressive syntax

 

Supports

 Java, Scala, C#, and Ruby
