Dart SDK

Welcome to the Dart API reference documentation, covering the official Dart API libraries. Some of the most fundamental Dart libraries include:

  • dart:core: Core functionality such as strings, numbers, collections, errors, dates, and URIs.
  • dart:html: DOM manipulation for web apps.
  • dart:io: I/O for command-line apps.

Except for dart:core, you must import a library before you can use it. Here's an example of importing dart:html and dart:math:

import 'dart:html';
import 'dart:math';

You can install more libraries using the pub package manager. For information on finding, using, and publishing libraries with pub, see pub.dartlang.org.
