# Reconciler

Diffs successive virtual trees and applies the smallest set of native
mutations that bring the on-screen view tree in line with the new
description. The reconciler is platform-agnostic; it talks to native
widgets exclusively through the
[`NativeViewRegistry`][pythonnative.native_views.NativeViewRegistry].

    options:
      show_root_heading: false

      filters: ["!^_"]
