What is SVG?
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is an XML-based vector image format that uses code to describe the shape of an image. SVG images can scale infinitely without losing quality.
What is Android Vector Drawable?
Android Vector Drawable is a native XML vector format supported by the Android framework. It defines shapes using vector paths instead of rasterized images. Vector Drawables have much smaller file sizes than PNGs or JPEGs.
Why Use Vector Graphics?
Compared to raster bitmap images, vector graphics can scale to any size without losing clarity. Using SVG or Vector Drawables on the web and apps allows for high-quality visuals and faster load times. The small file footprint also saves bandwidth.
