Overview
The tiled package is a Dart library for parsing TMX files from the Tiled map editor, converting them into structured data usable in game development. It integrates seamlessly with the Flame game engine, enabling developers to load and render tilemaps efficiently across multiple platforms. The package supports various Tiled features like layers, objects, and tilesets, making it ideal for 2D games. With clean, intuitive APIs, it simplifies map integration without requiring manual data handling.
