SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), is an XML-based two-dimensional vector graphics format.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a markup language for describing two-dimensional vector-graphics images, animations, and applications, and a set of related graphics script interfaces. It was originally an xml-based format, but can also be included inline in html using HTML parsing rules.
The current version is the SVG 1.1 (Second Edition), while SVG 2 is under active development.
