SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
Formula
SVG defines vector - based graphics in XML, which can be directly embedded in HTML pages.SVG graphics are scalable, and do not lose any quality if they are zoomed or resized:
Sorry, your browser does not support inline SVG. SVG is supported by all major browsers.
Formula
SVG is used to define vector - based graphics for the WebEach element and attribute in SVG files can be animated
SVG integrates with other standards, such as CSS, DOM, XSL and JavaScript
Formula
The < svg > Element<svg> element is a container for SVG graphics. SVG has several methods for drawing paths, rectangles, circles, polygons, text, and much more.

SVG is a language for describing 2D graphics in XML, while Canvas draws 2D graphics, on the fly (with JavaScript). SVG is XML based, which means that every element is available within the SVG DOM. You can attach JavaScript event handlers to SVG graphics. In SVG, each drawn shape is remembered as an object. If attributes of an SVG
Formula
object are changed, the browser can automatically re - render the shape.Canvas is rendered pixel by pixel. In canvas, once the graphic is drawn, it is forgotten by the browser. If its position should be changed, the entire scene needs to be redrawn, including any objects that might have been covered by the graphic.
The table below shows some important differences between Canvas and SVG:
