## Platform architecture

Gradle is arranged into several coarse-grained components called "platforms".
Each platform provides support for some kind of automation, such as building JVM software or building Gradle plugins.
Most platforms typically build on the features of other platforms.

By understanding the Gradle platforms and their relationships, you can get a feel for where in the Gradle source a particular feature might be implemented.
