Overview
The timing package provides a straightforward way to measure the duration of synchronous and asynchronous operations in Dart applications. It offers simple APIs to start and stop timers, making it easy to track performance metrics during development and debugging. Ideal for profiling code execution, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing app responsiveness. The package is lightweight and integrates seamlessly into Flutter and Dart projects across multiple platforms.
