Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.
Flutter is powered by the same hardware-accelerated 2D graphics library that underpins Chrome and Android.
Flutter is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Powered by the Dart platform.
- Compile to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, as well as JavaScript for the web and Intel x64 for desktop devices.
- Layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation.
- Built-in beautiful Material Design and Cupertino (iOS-flavor) widgets. Full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences on both iOS and Android. Incorporate all critical platform differences such as scrolling, navigation, icons and fonts.
- Stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state. Experience sub-second reload times without losing state on emulators, simulators, and hardware.
- Works with any development tool (or none at all) but includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio.
- Thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform.
