Widget tree

A widget tree is a way of organizing and managing all the visual components of an app or user interface. Think of it as a hierarchy where each widget is a building block—like buttons, images, or text—that is connected to others. The tree structure shows how these elements are nested and related, making it easier for the system to render, update, and handle interactions efficiently. Essentially, it’s a map that helps the app understand what to display and how components relate, ensuring a smooth and organized user experience.
