1.**Designed for complex applications**
- In the stage model, multiple application components share an ArkTS engine (VM running the programming language ArkTS) instance, making it easy for application components to share objects and status while requiring less memory.
- The object-oriented development mode makes the code of complex applications easy to read, maintain, and scale.
