## What it is
FlutterBoost is a Flutter plugin from Alibaba that enables hybrid integration of Flutter pages into existing native iOS and Android apps with minimal effort. It manages routing and page lifecycle between native and Flutter pages, letting developers open Flutter pages by name (URL-like) as easily as using a WebView.

## Use cases
- embed Flutter pages in an existing native iOS or Android app
- route between native and Flutter pages with a unified API
- manage Flutter page lifecycle in hybrid apps
- reuse a single Flutter engine across multiple Flutter pages in a native app
- send cross-platform events between native and Flutter code
- add Flutter incrementally to a large legacy mobile codebase

## When to choose
- you have an existing native app and want to adopt Flutter incrementally
- you need mixed stacks of native and Flutter pages with consistent routing
- you want battle-tested hybrid Flutter support proven at Alibaba scale
- you need HarmonyOS (ohos) support for hybrid Flutter

## When to avoid
- you are building a pure Flutter app with no native pages
- you are starting a brand-new mobile project from scratch
- you only need simple platform channels without page-level hybrid routing
- your team cannot maintain Flutter SDK version compatibility constraints

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
