Flutter is fast. It's powered by the same hardware-accelerated [Skia] 2D
graphics library that underpins Chrome and Android. We architected Flutter to
support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.
Flutter code is powered by the world-class [Dart platform], which enables

### Extensible and open model
Flutter works with any development tool, but includes editor plug-ins for both
[Visual Studio Code] and [IntelliJ / Android Studio]. Flutter provides
[thousands of packages][Flutter packages] to speed your development, regardless
of your target platform. And accessing platform features is easy. Here is a
snippet from our [interop example]:
```dart
Future<void> getBatteryLevel() async {
var batteryLevel = 'unknown';
try {
int result = await methodChannel.invokeMethod('getBatteryLevel');
batteryLevel = 'Battery level: $result%';
} on PlatformException {
batteryLevel = 'Failed to get battery level.';
}
setState(() {
_batteryLevel = batteryLevel;
});
}

Flutter is a fully open source project, and we welcome contributions.
