<svg>
The <svg> SVG element is a container that defines a new coordinate system and viewport. It is used as the outermost element of SVG documents, but it can also be used to embed an SVG fragment inside an SVG or HTML document.
This element is for creating new SVG documents. If you have an existing SVG document to embed in another document via URL, use
<img>,<object>, or<image>.Note: The
xmlnsattribute is only required on the outermostsvgelement of SVG documents, or inside HTML documents with XML serialization. It is unnecessary for innersvgelements or inside HTML documents with HTML serialization.
