Overview
rpc_dart is a transport-agnostic RPC framework for Dart that enables structured communication between client and server using contracts, supports streaming, and includes built-in transports. It simplifies remote procedure calls by defining clear interfaces for methods and data types, ensuring type safety and consistency across platforms. The framework works seamlessly across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it ideal for cross-platform applications requiring reliable, real-time communication. With support for both synchronous and asynchronous operations, rpc_dart enhances developer productivity through code generation and contract-first design.
