React Native Skia brings the Skia Graphics Library to React Native. Skia serves as the graphics engine for Google Chrome and Chrome OS, Android, Flutter, Mozilla Firefox and Firefox OS, and many other products.

## Getting Started

## Contributing

For detailed information on library development, building, testing, and contributing guidelines, please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](packages/skia/CONTRIBUTING.md).

## Graphite

Skia has two backends: Ganesh and Graphite. Ganesh is the default backend.
If you want to experiment with Graphite, you can enable it by building Skia with `SK_GRAPHITE=1 yarn build-skia`.
Skia Graphite requires Android API Level 26 or above.

React Native Skia automatically detects Graphite via a marker file included in the prebuilt libs.
