AI overview
SVG is a web-based format for creating graphics that can be scaled to any size without losing quality, and it supports interactive and animated features. It matters because it's an open standard maintained by the W3C that has become a fundamental tool for displaying crisp, flexible graphics on websites and digital applications since 1999.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector graphics format for defining two-dimensional graphics, having support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium since 1999.
SVG images are defined in a vector graphics format and stored in XML text files. SVG images can thus be scaled in size without loss of quality, and SVG files can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed. The XML text files can be created and edited with text editors or vector graphics editors, and are rendered by most web browsers. SVG can include JavaScript, potentially leading to cross-site scripting.
