### AI overview

This article introduces Jaspr, an open source web framework for building dynamic, fast-loading, SEO-friendly websites in Dart. It explains the framework's origins, its Flutter-like developer experience, and its use of native HTML and CSS. Google selected Jaspr to rebuild the official Dart and Flutter websites.

### Source excerpt

by Kilian Schulte, Netlight Jaspr, the open source web framework, is built on Dart Most developers know Dart as the language that powers Flutter, the multi-platform app framework. But the Dart ecosystem has so much more to offer. For example: Jaspr, a web framework that provides a familiar Flutter-like experience, but is made for building fast, SEO-friendly, and dynamic websites natively in Dart. Dart on the web is not a new idea. Initially, Dart was designed to run natively in browsers, similar to JavaScript. Google even developed AngularDart, a pure-Dart version of the popular JS framework. And although this is no longer supported, it resulted in some surprisingly powerful web tooling for Dart. Back in 2016, teams at Google chose Dart for its strong type safety and excellent development experience, and it has only improved since then. However, all of this was unknown to me when I started building Jaspr in 2022. As a web developer who had transitioned to Flutter, I had grown to love Dart and wanted to explore using it for web development. So Jaspr started as a personal challenge: What would a modern web framework look like if it was built entirely in Dart? Creating Jaspr as an open source project has been one of the most challenging, but also rewarding journeys of my career. Starting out as a solo maintainer is definitely hard work, but it comes with absolute creative freedom. I can explore unconventional ideas, design APIs exactly how I envision them, and integrate modern features seen in other frameworks. All without being slowed down by processes or roadmaps. I poured more than three years of late nights and weekends into the framework. That dedication finally paid off in a way I had never imagined: Google selected Jaspr to completely rebuild and power the official Dart and Flutter websites. Architecture & design To understand how Jaspr actually works, let's look at its underlying design. Jaspr is primarily targeted at Flutter developers venturing into web devel
