What are the advantages of Gradle?

The advantages of Gradle are: its flexibility, performance, and integration capabilities. Gradle uses a Groovy or Kotlin-based DSL, which is very powerful; it can be used to extend the build scripts and, in such a way, make the build process suitable even for the most complicated projects. The performance is massively improved by its incremental build feature that only compiles fragments of the project which have changed.
Gradle natively supports multi-language projects, works fine with such popular tools as Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, and Jenkins, provides solid dependency management-which means simplicity in handling external libraries and plugins. That is why Gradle is great for both contemporary development workflows and continuous integration pipelines.
