Overview
The hooks package provides a Dart API for interacting with the JSON-based protocol used by `hook/build.dart` and `hook/link.dart`, enabling seamless integration between Dart and other languages like Python and Rust. It facilitates command-line tooling and native code interoperability, particularly in environments where cross-language build and linking processes are required. This package is part of the Dart Native ecosystem, supporting multi-platform development across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
