Brief description about flutter.

Flutter is an open-source, cross-platform, UI software development kit created by Google. It can be used to develop applications for all platforms (mobile, IOS, Windows, Linux) while using one codebase.

Why is Flutter popular?

Flutter merges the features and quality of native apps with the power of cross-platform development. Many other cross-platform tools let you write one codebase and use it on other platforms. Unlike Flutter they do not all render the same native app look.

Instead of wrapping UI elements (Like React, Vue, etc.), Flutter draws the elements from scratch.

Flutter preserves the native look and experience while keeping great performance across all platforms.

Why use Flutter?

Flutter is a development kit for people who want to create amazing-looking apps with as little rework as possible. Flutter allows you to create beautiful, cross-platform, native-looking applications from one codebase.

Flutter provides hot reload. When using hot reload, Flutter makes the changes visible in the app itself with no need to re-run or update the app. This makes development a lot simpler.

One of the main reasons for Flutter’s extensive prevalent implementation is due to the amazing documentation and premium examples for reference.
