Flutter is an open-source framework developed by Google for building beautiful, natively compiled, multi-platform applications from a single codebase.
As a mobile app SDK, Flutter enables developers to develop high-quality native interfaces for iOS, Android, Web, macOS, and Linux devices using a single codebase. This allows developers to write code once and use it on different software.
