Includes a custom templating language inspired by ReactJS, with a compiler developed with the ANTLR parser generator. 2024 *(in progress)*. -- [**ssg**, or **Static Site Generator**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/ssg): A highly-extensible CLI application written entirely in Groovy for statically generating websites from text files and other input. I created this out of a need for a static site generator in which I could embed Groovy without all the hassle of a full-size server-oriented framework such as Grails. So far, I am using it for all my personal sites, and it has also been used outside of my own projects. 2023. -- [**jbarchiva**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/jbarchiva): A Gradle plugin to facilitate easy access to my personal Maven repository at [archiva.jessebrault.com](https://archiva.jessebrault.com/). 2022-2024. +- [**groowt**, or **Groovy Web Tools**](https://git.jessebrault.com/jessebrault/groowt): A set of libraries, CLI tools, + and Gradle plugins written mostly in Java for facilitating web-development in Groovy, emphasizing the + model-view-controller paradigm.
