# ADR-0002 - Avoid using Java serialization

## Date

2012-12-01

## Context

In Gradle we often need to serialize in-memory objects for caching, or to transmit them across process barriers, etc.
Java serialization is one way to implement this, however, despite its simplicity of implementation, it has several drawbacks:

- **Performance:**
Java's built-in serialization mechanism is often slower compared to other serialization solutions.

# ADR-0003 - Avoid introducing Groovy types to public API

## Date

2024-01-12

## Context

Gradle's public API requires equal access from all JVM-based languages.
Kotlin, Groovy, Java, and other JVM-based languages should be able to use the Gradle API without relying on another language's standard library.

Historically, Gradle has shipped with some Groovy types in very prominent APIs.

    itself. The idea is:

    - If users want only ListenableFuture, they depend on listenablefuture-1.0.

    - If users want all of Guava, they depend on guava, which, as of Guava
    27.0, depends on
    listenablefuture-9999.0-empty-to-avoid-conflict-with-guava. The 9999.0-...
