Overview
The assets_audio_player_web package is a web-specific plugin that enables Flutter applications to play audio files stored in the app's assets directory directly on web platforms. It extends the functionality of the core assets_audio_player package by providing optimized web compatibility, allowing developers to stream and control audio from local asset files without requiring external servers. This ensures seamless audio playback across Android, iOS, macOS, and web environments with consistent behavior.
