Grails is an open-source web application framework for the Java Virtual Machine, built on the Groovy programming language and inspired by Ruby on Rails' convention-over-configuration philosophy. It is used by backend developers to rapidly build database-driven web applications, leveraging tight integration with Spring, Hibernate, and other Java ecosystem tools. Developers favor it for reducing boilerplate code while still allowing full access to Java libraries when needed.
