### [`stream_chat`](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat)
A pure Dart package that can be used on any Dart project. It provides a low-level client to access the Stream Chat service.
### [stream_chat_persistence](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat_persistence)
### [`stream_chat_persistence`](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat_persistence)
This package provides a persistence client for fetching and saving chat data locally. Stream Chat Persistence uses Moor as a disk cache.
