SVG

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap

In short

Scalable Vector Graphics — an XML-based format for resolution-independent icons, illustrations and data visualizations that stay crisp at any zoom level. Because SVG is vector-based, it is particularly useful for icons, logos, diagrams, and illustrations that must remain sharp at different sizes and resolutions.

How to learn this

  1. 1Inline an SVG icon directly in HTML and style it with CSS `fill`. Validate your understanding by applying it in a small practical example.
  2. 2Try animating an SVG path with CSS or a small script. Inspect the result in DevTools or the console and explain what you observed.
  3. 3Compare SVG vs PNG/JPG — when each is the right choice.
