Summary
In this chapter, we covered a selection of third-party libraries that we can use in our ESP32 projects. We learned that we can use LittleFS as an alternative to SPIFFS, nlohmann/json as a modern JSON library, Miniz for data compression, and FlatBuffers to share data between different platforms and architectures. LVGL has a special place among them, such that it is the framework to use if you want to create an amazing graphical interface for the users of your product. The ESP-IDF Components library is another popular library for ESP32 developers and it provides many device drivers that we can employ in our projects. Finally, we talked about some important frameworks by Espressif.
They provide a head-start and make life much easier when commencing a new ESP32 project. The examples in this chapter also showed us different methods of importing third-party libraries in our projects so that we can apply them when we need other libraries in the next project.
