Overview
Programming Groovy is easy to start with. This reference of best practices and idiomatic solutions smoothly guides you to the next step of achieving more expressive solutions that fully leverage the power of the language. Simply looking up proven solutions for everyday tasks goes beyond general IDE support.
Suggested solutions range from working with standard data types like objects, strings, numbers, collections, ranges, and maps, through dealing with regular expressions, operators, closures, and meta-programming facilities up to library support for threading, external processes, I/0, networking, user interfaces, XML, and databases.
