Grails is a web application framework based on the Groovy programming language, leveraging the principles of the Spring framework. It simplifies web development by providing a convention-over-configuration approach, integrated ORM via GORM, and support for RESTful APIs, making it efficient for building robust and scalable applications.
About Grails
Grails was created in 2005 by Graeme Rocher and his team to simplify web application development by leveraging the Groovy programming language and integrating with the Spring framework. It aimed to provide a more productive environment with convention-over-configuration, reducing boilerplate code and streamlining the development process.
Strengths of Grails included rapid development, convention-over-configuration, seamless integration with Spring, and powerful ORM through GORM. Weaknesses involved slower performance compared to some other frameworks and a smaller community. Competitors included Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails, Django, and Laravel.
