[Gradle](https://gradle.org/) is a build tool with a focus on build automation and support for multi-language development. If you are building, testing, publishing, and deploying software on any platform, Gradle offers a flexible model that can support the entire development lifecycle from compiling and packaging code to publishing websites. Gradle has been designed to support build automation across multiple languages and platforms, including Java, Scala, Android, Kotlin, C/C++, and Groovy,...

This is a general purpose platform that builds on the core automation platform to add support for the automation of software development.
This includes work such as compiling, testing and documenting software, plus sharing that software via publishing and dependency management.
This platform is agnostic to what kind of software is being developed.
It might be Java or Kotlin libraries running on the JVM, Gradle plugins, Android or iOS applications, C++ libraries, and so on.
