Overview
DivKit is an open-source SDUI (Server-Driven UI) framework enabling server-driven app updates, rapid UI prototyping, and consistent cross-platform layouts. It allows developers to define UI components on the server and render them dynamically in Flutter apps across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. By decoupling UI logic from the client, DivKit supports real-time design changes without app redeployment. The framework integrates seamlessly with Flutter via a simple pub add command and provides a flexible, scalable solution for teams needing agile UI iteration and centralized design control.
