Flutter Framework

Flutter is an open-source UI toolkit developed by Google for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. It utilizes the Dart programming language and a declarative approach, where the entire interface is constructed from a comprehensive set of customizable building blocks known as widgets. This architecture enables developers to create highly expressive and flexible user interfaces with excellent performance, while features like hot reload significantly accelerate the development and iteration process, making it a powerful tool within modern mobile application development.
