Overview
Dart SDK is the official development kit for the Dart programming language. Its repository is hosted at dart-lang/sdk and it is released under the BSD-3-Clause open source license. ## What It Is Dart SDK includes the Dart VM, a JavaScript compiler, a WebAssembly compiler, static analysis tools, and core libraries, enabling you to develop and run Dart programs across multiple platforms. ## Design Highlights - **Strongly typed**: Delivers a consistent, concise language experience with modern features like null safety and patterns. - **Cross-platform compilation**: Compiles to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend; or to JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web. - **Iterative development**: Supports hot reload so you can instantly see code changes in a running app, and diagnose issues with DevTools. ## Compilation Technologies Dart's compiler technologies fall into two categories based on target platform and use case: - **Dart Native**: Targets devices (mobile, desktop, server, etc.). It includes the Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler that generates machine code. - **Dart Web**: Targets the web. It includes the development compiler dartdevc and the production compiler dart2js. ## Ecosystem & Documentation API reference documentation is published at api.dart.dev, based on the stable channel, with docs also available for the beta and dev channels as well as the main development branch. Community and officially contributed packages and libraries are available on pub.dev. For future plans, see the joint Dart and Flutter roadmap on the Flutter wiki.
