| Flutter Engine |
| ============== |
| [](https://travis-ci.org/flutter/engine) |
| |
| Flutter is a new way to build high-performance, cross-platform mobile apps. |
| Flutter is optimized for today's, and tomorrow's, mobile devices. We are |
| focused on low-latency input and high frame rates on Android and iOS. |
| |
| The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting |
| [Flutter](https://flutter.io) applications. It implements Flutter's core |
| libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, |
| accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile |
| toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the [Flutter |
| Framework](https://github.com/flutter/flutter), which provides a modern, |
| reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets. |
| |
| |
| _Flutter is still under development and we continue to add |
| features._ However, it is ready for use by early adopters who are willing to deal |
| with the odd wrinkle or two along the way. We hope you try it out and send |
| us [feedback](mailto:flutter-dev@googlegroups.com). |
