Google\u2019s Flutter was sharing consistent searches and demand until March 2018 when the beta version of Flutter was launched. You can see a little spike near March 2018.<\/p>\n

So, why is it gaining so much attention?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s discuss what it is and why developers are looking forward to using it:<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is Google Flutter?<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the Mobile World Congress of 2018, Google announced the launch of the beta version of Google\u2019s Flutter – a cross-platform mobile app development framework.<\/p>\n

Flutter is an open-source mobile app development SDK, which is used to develop mobile apps for both- Android & iOS.<\/p>\n

Flutter is developed with the inspiration on React. But, after the Mobile World Congress 2018, you can see a great demand for Flutter compared to React.<\/p>\n

Flutter is written in the Dart programming language.<\/p>\n

Now, what is Dart? Haven\u2019t heard of it? Let\u2019s discuss.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is Dart?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dart is a programming language originally developed by Google. It is used to develop web, server and mobile apps, and also for IoT devices.<\/p>\n

The Dart programming language has many benefits and that helps Flutter to flourish the mobile apps and IoT devices.<\/p>\n

It is very easy to learn and compiles using JavaScript. Also, it is very similar to Java and C#. So, if you are a developer who loves Java and C#, it will be easy for you to learn and apply Dart programming language to your apps.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s discuss why you should use Flutter.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What are the benefits of Flutter?<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. High Speed Development<\/h3>\n

Like we discussed in our last article on ways to grow enterprise leveraging React Native, most businesses find it difficult to get their high-quality mobile apps developed faster. But using React Native, they can.<\/p>\n

And, as Flutter is inspired by React, it is mainly developed to speed up the mobile app development process for iOS and Android.<\/p>\n

2. Hot Reload Feature<\/h3>\n

The most attractive benefit of using Flutter is its Hot Reload Feature. This is quite similar to what React Native does.<\/p>\n

The Hot Reload feature helps the developers to inject the updated source code in the running Dart Virtual Machine (DVM). So now, you can see the updated features on the app within a second, which was not the case earlier with Android Studio.<\/p>\n

So, if you are looking to fix the bugs or build UIs, all can be done quickly and easily with the help of Flutter\u2019s Hot Reload Feature.<\/p>\n

3. Built-in Material Components & Cupertino (iOS-flavor) Widgets<\/h3>\n

While talking about Flutter, Material Design is unavoidable.<\/p>\n

During Google I\/O 2018, the software engineers from Flutter and Material Design showcased how to develop the apps using both which are expressive, enhanced, and a delightful experience for the developers.<\/p>\n
