How does Flutter handle caching and performance optimization for network requests?
Flutter provides several mechanisms for caching and performance optimization of network requests. It offers a built-in cache management system that handles caching transparently and efficiently. The cache manager in Flutter allows you to specify different cache policies based on your requirements, such as caching resources only for a specific duration or caching them indefinitely. Additionally, Flutter also provides a mechanism for efficient network request handling through the use of future-based APIs. By utilizing asynchronous programming and future objects, Flutter ensures that network requests don’t block the user interface and are executed in an optimized manner.
