## What it is
Apache Geb is a Groovy-based browser automation library built on WebDriver, combining jQuery-like content selection with Page Object modelling. It is used for web testing, screen scraping, and general browser automation, integrating with test frameworks like Spock, JUnit, and TestNG.

## Use cases
- automate browser interactions in groovy
- write functional web tests with spock
- scrape web pages with a headless browser
- implement page object pattern tests
- run cross-browser end-to-end test suites
- script login flows and form submissions

## When to choose
- your team works on the JVM with Groovy or Java
- you want expressive jQuery-style selectors with WebDriver
- you need Page Object modelling for maintainable web tests
- you want one tool for both scraping and acceptance testing

## When to avoid
- you need a non-JVM stack like Python or JavaScript
- you want a record-and-playback tool rather than code-based tests
- your team is not comfortable with the Groovy language
