Businesses are changing their modus operandi from brick-and-mortar to click-and-enter type to reduce operational costs and to tread into unexplored markets. For this reason only, hundreds web-based applications have been developed of late to meet the growing demands of the business owners and their customers alike. Grails is a full-scale web application development framework which is considered highly advantageous for the job of developing web applications. Why Grails web application development framework has outdone many more application development frameworks that are currently available in the market. Why Grails/Groovy is now being considered the latest big thing in the enterprise-level application development arena? This article explores.
A
brief introduction to Grails
Grails
application development API is among
the latest programming language frameworks that help in agile application development.
Grails is a framework built on Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The language
is largely dependent on Groovy platform. Use of Grails helps developers in
increasing their output, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Developers around
the world have found Grails web app
development beneficial for their line of work due to several reasons that
are briefly discussed here below.
Faster
building of website framework
It usually takes weeks to set up the basic
infrastructure of any new website if traditional Java programming frameworks
are used. The turnaround time can be
reduced to just two hours with the use of Grails/Groovy
programming framework. It simply
proves that the speed and productivity of the website developers can be
significantly increased with the use of this futuristic web application
development framework. In a similar fashion, building web applications using
Grails also becomes a less time-consuming affair than ever before.
Peerless
testing support
Grails web
application developers also get unlimited support
for testing the functionality of the finished products and also can perform
interim tests during development. Classes are loaded automatically and codes
can be changed quite effortlessly. However, the scaffolding feature of the
framework is the most advantageous one, according to many Grails developers around the world.
All
the Java features present
The developers can reap the advantages of the
robust web application development framework while at the same time, they do
not miss the advantageous features of JavaScript that are all brilliantly
incorporated into Grails website
application development framework.
DRY
Principle followed
Grails mobile
app development follows the DRY (Do Not Repeat Yourself)
principle. As a result, the developers working with the futuristic framework
can work in a streamlined manner. Besides, the application development
framework also comes with more than 500 plug-in extensions that help the
developers in myriad other ways. Documentation of development progress also
comes easy with Grails. All these features combined are meant for reducing the
waiting time for the developers. Developers, as a result, can work in a more
agile manner than ever before.
Key players across industries have already
adopted Grails based mobile application
development and website development framework and the list includes names
like LinkedIn, Pepsi, Sky.com just to name a few. It goes without saying that
the mobile app development framework is here to rule for years to come and
companies that have already realized its potential are reaping sheer benefits
of the framework.
