universal_io
A cross-platform implementation of dart:io that works on all platforms, including browsers.
What is universal_io?
Universal IO is a Dart package that provides a cross-platform implementation of the standard `dart:io` library, enabling its use in browser environments where it's normally unavailable. It solves the problem of writing platform-agnostic code for I/O operations by offering a drop-in replacement for `dart:io` imports, particularly for HTTP client functionality.
Dart developers building applications that need to run on both server-side and client-side (browser) platforms, especially those requiring consistent HTTP client behavior across environments.
Developers choose Universal IO because it eliminates the need for platform-specific I/O code, provides a seamless transition from `dart:io` with minimal changes, and offers browser-compatible HTTP client functionality with helpful debugging tools for cross-origin requests.
Overview
