The JSON codec is awkward to use in the wrapper (since the client has to build and link one of the JSON libraries to do so). Since it would be very cumbersome to wrap in a C API, and there's essentially no reason to use it instead of the standard codec, this removes it from the wrapper entirely. Since some system channels (internal to the engine) still use it, it's moved into common/cpp instead of being eliminated entirely. Internally we always use RapidJSON though, so the jsoncpp implementation is removed. Also adds some unit test coverage, since there wasn't any. Fixes #30669
Flutter Engine
Flutter is Google's mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework, which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
If you are new to Flutter, then you will find more general information on the Flutter project, including tutorials and samples, on our Web site at Flutter.dev. For specific information about Flutter's APIs, consider our API reference which can be found at the docs.flutter.dev.
Flutter is a fully open source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found at our contributor guide.
