What are some examples of Groovy scripts?

Groovy scripts can be used for various tasks. For example, you can automate build processes with Gradle, or manipulate XML and JSON data easily.

Can you show me a simple Groovy script for reading a JSON file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def jsonFile = new File('data.json')
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def jsonData = jsonSlurper.parse(jsonFile)

println jsonData

What about a script to send an HTTP request?

Here's a basic example using Groovy's HTTPBuilder:

@Grab(group='org.codehaus.gpars', module='gpars', version='1.2.1')
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient

def client = new RESTClient('http://example.com/')
def response = client.get(path: '/api/data')
println response.data
