Getting Started with Fluid Framework

Microsoft Fluid Framework is a collection of client libraries for distributing and synchronizing shared state. These libraries allow multiple clients to simultaneously create and operate on shared data structures using coding patterns similar to those used to work with local data.

What is Fluid Framework?

Fluid Framework enables you to build collaborative applications where multiple users can work together in real-time. It provides:

Real-time collaboration: Changes are synchronized across all connected clients instantly
Distributed data structures: Share complex data types like maps, sequences, and custom objects
Conflict resolution: Automatic handling of concurrent edits from multiple users
Offline support: Continue working when disconnected and sync when reconnected
