FAQs
A CAPTCHA for Groovy is a protective layer added to applications built with the Groovy language. Its role is to stop bots from spamming forms, scraping data, or automating abusive bot behavior. With Friendly Captcha, this protection runs quietly in the background – no frustrating image puzzles, no invasive data collection, just smart security that respects your users.
In Groovy-based systems, Friendly Captcha works by having the user’s device solve a small cryptographic puzzle. This happens invisibly as the user interacts with your form. It’s a background task that proves the request comes from a real person—not a bot without ever interrupting the flow.
If you’re looking for a CAPTCHA that fits Groovy’s lightweight and flexible nature, Friendly Captcha is a top contender. Friendly Captcha is private by design, highly accessible, and fully compliant with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA. Unlike traditional CAPTCHAs such as Google reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha that rely on behavioral tracking or user annoyance, Friendly Captcha offers quiet, respectful protection.

Bots are fast, persistent, and constantly evolving. By including a CAPTCHA, you reduce risk and protect your endpoints from unwanted traffic.
