Flutter Engine
==============

[![Build Status - Cirrus][]][Build status]

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for
mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing
code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free
and open source.

The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting
[Flutter](https://flutter.dev) 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.

If you want to run/contribute to Flutter Web engine, more tooling can be
found at [felt](https://github.com/flutter/engine/tree/master/lib/web_ui/dev#whats-felt).
This is a tool written to make web engine development experience easy.

on the Flutter project, including tutorials and samples, on our Web
site at [Flutter.dev](https://flutter.dev). For specific information
about Flutter's APIs, consider our API reference which can be found at
