Developers can use Google's Flutter open-source framework to design user interfaces (UIs) across several platforms, such iOS and Android, using a single codebase. In order to create high-performance programs that seem natural on every platform, it targets to enable code reuse between platforms while interacting directly with platform services.
Native Packaging: Flutter apps are packaged like other native applications.
Embedder Languages: Android (Java and C++), iOS (Objective-C/Objective-C++), Windows and Linux (C++), Dart.
Dart: An open-source programming language developed by Google which is also used by Flutter. Many of Dart's advantages are included into Flutter, and Dart is tailored for creating user interfaces.
Key Features of Flutter
-
Open-Source: A free and public framework for creating mobile applications.
- Cross-Platform: Save time, money, and effort by writing code only once and executing it on several platforms.
- Native Features & SDKs: Easy access to native code, third-party integrations, and platform APIs, simplifying development.
- Minimal Code: Uses Dart with JIT and AOT compilation for faster start-up times and enhanced performance.
- Rich Widgets: Offers customizable widgets, including Material Design and Cupertino, for a smooth cross-platform experience.
Key Benefits of the Flutter Framework
- Accelerated Development: Accelerated development makes it possible to prototype quickly and implement incremental enhancements.
- Cost Efficiency: Single codebase supports multiple platforms, reducing development costs.
- Stunning UI: Facilitates the creation of visually rich and animated apps.
- Robust Community: Supported by a growing and active developer community.
