Frequently asked questions
Flutter is an open-source UI toolkit developed by Google for building natively compiled applications across mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. It’s used to create beautiful and high-performance cross-platform mobile apps with a unified user interface.
Flutter uses Dart, a programming language developed by Google. Dart offers advantages such as fast compilation times, a rich standard library, and seamless integration with Flutter’s framework, enabling developers to build highly responsive and efficient apps.
Flutter stands out among cross-platform frameworks for its fast development cycle, expressive UIs, and high performance. Unlike other frameworks, Flutter provides a single codebase for both iOS and Android apps, with a rich set of pre-designed widgets and the ability to customize UIs extensively.
