This course is meant for Java programmers or aspiring programmers who want to know about the latest Java and JVM technology. Throughout this course, you will get several opportunities to get hands-on experience with various Java concepts. 

This course will help you understand the latest in Java up to version 17; cloud and microservices; build, testing, and web frameworks; reactive programming in Java; and the best JVM languages so you can advance your career in software development. 

Moreover, you will also get to work with Scala, Groovy, and Gradle. The course explains Java concepts in detail and also draws comparisons with its older versions, as well as JVM languages.

The All-in-One Guide to Java Programming

# How it works
Groovy includes some built-in support for XML, such as the XMLSlurper. Grails also includes converters for simply converting objects to XML or JSON or vice versa.
```
import grails.converters.JSON
import grails.converters.XML

class BookController {
   def getBooks = {
     render Book.list() as JSON
   }
   def getBooksXML = {
     render Book.list() as XML
   }
}
```
For REST services that service multiple formats, you can use the built-in `withFormat` in Grails. So the above would become the following:

```
def getBooks = {
     withFormat {
        json { render list as JSON }
        xml { render list as XML }
     }
}
```
Then Grails would decide which format to use based on numerous inputs; the simplest being the extension of the URL, such as `.json` or the request’s `Accept` header.

For *using* web-services in Grails, there’s a [rest plugin](https://grails.org/plugin/rest) available.
