What exactly is SVG?

Question

I see it's implemented as a supplement to the HTML markup. What are the benefits of learning SVG?

Answer 1

Scalable Vector Graphics enables you to do... well, graphics :) Lines, shapes, animations and such - in HTML exclusively.

Answer 2

SoloLearn's HTML course mentions that in its HTML5 section. But I doubt there is any better source than: https://www.w3schools.com ;)

Answer 3

SVG is scalable vector graphics.

It doesn't use pixels when you draw that means your drawing will remain as is even how much ever I zoom it.
It doesn't require JavaScript.

if the same thing is done by canvas it requires js and also you'll have pixel distortion when you zoom.

however we can have an SVG inside a canvas.
