Overview
The dtd package enables communication with the Dart Tooling Daemon, a backend service that supports development tools like IDEs and editors. It provides a structured way to interact with Dart's analysis and debugging capabilities, facilitating real-time feedback during development. This package is essential for tool integrations that require access to Dart's language server features, such as code completion, error detection, and refactoring support. Designed for use by development tool authors, it ensures consistent and efficient interaction with Dart's core tooling infrastructure.
