Besides this advantage, there are other aspects too where Groovy and Grails ranks above the Java development.


The other advantages include unmatched support for testing which is one of the most prominent layers for abstraction of the database. The classes can be reloaded automatically. The code can be changed, and there is a facility of refreshing the click in the browser to view the changes made. There is a facility for scaffolding too.


The use of Grails facilitates the developer with the robustness that Java provides and at the same time unparalleled speed for developing the application. Grails has provided one of the best solutions to the users of Java to use it in the most efficient way.

The Grails community is very vibrant. The online documentation about the use of Grails is very extensive. These facilities assure that the developer is not stranded at any issue for a longer time.
