Groovy Builders Overview and Case Study
Groovy Builders are a powerful Groovy pattern for the convenient creation of complex objects. Using metaprogramming features and builder factory support classes, Groovy enables a Domain-Specific-Language style for the Builder Pattern.
Use Groovy Builders to make your code more concise, readable and intuitive.
This talk presents an overview of a couple of standard Groovy Builders:
MarkupBuilder
SwingBuilder
Also, a case study is presented for a PDFBuilder, which is a wrapper for the iText 2.1 open source PDF generation library.
