svgpen
A canvas-like API for SVG
svgpen provides a canvas-like API for working with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). It aims to simplify SVG manipulation by offering a more programmatic approach, similar to the HTML5 Canvas API, but generating SVG elements instead of rasterized images. This allows developers to create and manipulate SVG graphics using JavaScript with less verbosity than raw SVG DOM manipulation. Key Features - Canvas-like API - Real DOM Output - Efficient Updates - Lightweight - Programmability
Top comment
HTML5 canvas and SVG have been known for their complementary nature. While canvas is programmable, it renders rasterized graphics and while SVG renders high-quality vector graphics, it can be a pain to dynamically program it. This pushed me to build an API that allows developers to use JavaScript to dynamically render SVG on the DOM.
