For many years, the SVG format was considered an elegant and effective alternative to the pixel graphic formats such as PNG, JPEG, and GIF, which were more widely used in web development. Despite this, the format was associated with a considerable amount of extra work. This was primarily because some of the most popular browsers – most notably, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer – did not support the SVG format. However, in most cases today, an SVG file can be integrated as easily as any other image file. For many visual elements of a web project, vector graphics are an excellent choice; they can provide, among other things, responsive and barrier-free icons, buttons, logos, and fonts that can be easily adapted at any time.
The implementation of the SVG format can be mastered even by beginners in web development, thanks to the numerous variations of embedding and content management system functions. However, the design of the vector forms does require a good deal of prior knowledge. Not only are the right tools required, but you also need to have experience with vectors to get the most out of the lossless scaling graphics. But with some determination, it won’t be long before you can start to reap the benefits of the award-winning scripting language.
