Overview
GetServer is a backend server solution for Flutter that enables developers to build HTTP and WebSocket servers using Flutter syntax. It allows seamless code reuse between frontend and backend by leveraging Dart's unified language, simplifying full-stack development. With support across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, it offers a consistent development experience. The server integrates naturally with the GetX ecosystem, making it ideal for projects aiming to minimize context switching and maximize shared logic.
