Kotlin DSL is Now the Default for New Gradle Builds

• Moshi

  17 9,500 8.6 Kotlin

  A modern JSON library for Kotlin and Java.

  

Honestly, when you look at a build.gradle.kts written by someone who knows what they're doing, it's not that bad (that reminds me, I should really clean up the build.gradle.kts on my personal project, I haven't heavily edited it since I knew a lot less about gradle...). For example, here's the build.gradle.kts for Moshi, a JSON serialization library from Square. It uses the root build.gradle.kts for the project a bit, which is here. The root one is a little more complex, but that's mostly because it has to deal with a multi-release build and has to configure a few plugins, like dokka. (If you're wondering where all the library versions are, they're here, using a new feature in Gradle you might like: The version catalog)

• dokkatoo

  1 50 9.1 Kotlin

  Generates documentation for Kotlin Gradle projects (based on Dokka)

  

I helped out with a small part of this announcement (the generated documentation - I re-wrote Kotlin's documentation Gradle plugin Dokkatoo because the original is not compatible with more recent Gradle features) and I agree, Gradle is a nightmare.
