SVG JavaScript Libraries for Developers

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is an open standard, XML-based format developed by the W3C for representing vector graphics. SVG is an excellent way to create interactive, resolution-independent vector graphics that will look great on any size screen.

Therefore in this article we have collected some of the Best SVG JavaScript Libraries for developers that will help you to create beautiful graphics and animated contents for their web applications. if you are aware of any JS SVG API we have not mentioned please, please let us know by posting a comment below.

1. Walkway.js

Walkway.js is an easy way to animate SVG images consisting of line and path elements. Simply create a new Walkway instance with a supplied options object. When you want to start animating call .draw on the returned instance providing an optional callback that will be called when drawing is complete. Currently, Walkway.js only works on path and line elements.

2. Progressbar.js

ProgressBar.js is a beautiful and responsive progress bars with animated SVG paths. With ProgressBar.js, it’s easy to create arbitrary shaped progress bars. This library provides a few built in shapes like Line, Circle and Square but you can also create your own progress bars with Illustrator or any vector graphic editor. ProgressBar.js is lightweight, MIT licensed and supports all major browsers including IE9+. You can change the color of progress bar smoothly with animation. You could also animate any property like stroke width, fill opacity, fill color etc.

3. Chartlist.js


4. Vivus

6. Seen.js

Seen.js renders 3D scenes into SVG or HTML5 Canvas. Seen.js contains a simple abstraction on top of the graphics capabilities of SVG and HTML5 Canvas elements. All of the other components of this library are agnostic to the type of context it will be rendered in.

Seen.js contains a looping, event-firing class for animating scenes. The render context contains a method .animate() which will create and return an animator that is set up to invoke the context’s .render() method. To modify the scene on every frame, listen to the ‘beforeRender’ event.

7. Snap.svg

Snap.svg JavaScript library makes working with your SVG assets as easy as jQuery makes working with the DOM. With a rich animation library and easy event handing, Snap.svg lets you bring your SVG to life.
Snap.svg is designed for modern browsers and therefore supports the newest SVG features like masking, clipping, patterns, full gradients, groups, and more. Snap.svg is available under an Apache 2 license which means it’s completely open-source, and completely free.
