What are the differences between SliverList and ListView in Flutter?
There's almost no difference.
ListView is a SliverList. Same with GridView, which is a SliverGrid.
They are doing exactly the same thing. The only difference between them is that SliverList is a sliver, not a widget. Which means it's used inside a ScrollView, usually CustomScrollView.
ListView is nothing else but a biding of SliverList to transform it into a Widget to make it usable alongside other widgets such as Row/Container.
Most of the time, use ListView.
But if you want advanced scroll behavior such as appbar animations with scroll ; you'll need to use a CustomScrollView. Which will force you to use SliverList instead of ListView.
