What is SVG?

What does this animation and interactivity vector image format do.

By Vinod

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. This is a vector image format for two-dimensional graphics, creating animation and interactivity.

It is an open standard which has been developed by the World Wide Web consortium since 1999 with its formal release coming in September 2001.

The format is defined in the XML language, so that a set of rules can be set up in a format that can be deciphered by both humans and machines. XML results in SVG images being created which may be compressed around twenty to fifty percent of the original size for storage efficiency.
