What is Riverpod in Flutter?

Riverpod is a state management library created by the same author as Provider but designed to fix its limitations. Key improvements: providers are globally accessible without requiring a BuildContext, there is no risk of ProviderNotFoundError, providers are strongly typed and testable, and it natively supports asynchronous state with FutureProvider and AsyncNotifier. Riverpod also has compile-time safety with code generation (@riverpod annotation). It is one of the most popular choices for production Flutter apps today.
