Facebook recommends the use of Sonar over Stetho for most use cases going forward. It added new features, provided a richer user experience, and works across both iOS and Android. When it was started three years ago, Sonar was built upon Stetho, which is an Android debugging bridge built in Chrome’s developer tools. It also provides engineers with an intuitive way for inspecting and understanding the structure and behavior of iOS and Android applications. Sonar was originally created to help Facebook engineers manage the complexity of working with multiple different modules.Īccording to the company, Sonar provides a framework where experts and developers can convey important information to users. Facebook has announced it will be open sourcing its extensible debugging tool: Sonar.
