Does flutter uses Javascript Engine kind of thing like React Native

Question

As we know React Native uses Javascript to create native views without DOM at runtime.

Does Flutter uses same kind of logic?

Answer 1

No, Flutter uses Dart compiled to native binary code. There is no JavaScript involved at all.

You can run JavaScript in a WebView plugin if you want.

Flutter builds to native binary code and renders the UI using Skia Graphics Library which is a high performance 2D graphics library that utilizes GPUs

Skia is an open source 2D graphics library which provides common APIs that work across a variety of hardware and software platforms. It serves as the graphics engine for Google Chrome and Chrome OS, Android, Mozilla Firefox and Firefox OS, and many other products.

Flutter uses its own widgets that are built from ground up in Dart. Basic widgets like gesture detection, layout, text rendering, ... are composed to more powerful reusable widgets like Material Design widgets and others.
All these widgets can be reused to compose custom widgets.
The source of all these basic and complex widgets is available and can be used to allow a level of customization composition alone might not allow.

In Addition to @Günter Zöchbauer:

• Flutter has beautiful sets of Widgets
• It is easy to understand as compared to ReactNative
• ReactNative has a difficult learning curve for mobile developers
