It has also come up with Canvas Kit-based renderer along with an HTML renderer. It also comes up with a link widget that enables developers to give a web app-like feel in the browser.
Sound Null Safety
It is a remarkable addition to the Dart technology that strengthens the type system by distinguishing nullable types from the non-nullable types. It enables developers to prevent null error crashes which is one of the prime reasons for app crashes. When you incorporate the null checks into the system, these errors will be easily detected during the development reducing the probability of the app crash.
