This article shows you how to compare HTML Canvas and SVG. The content is concise and easy to understand. It will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

Both Canvas (canvas) and SVG allow you to create graphics in a browser, but they are fundamentally different.

SVG (recommended: html tutorial)

SVG is a language that uses XML to describe 2D graphics.

SVG is based on XML, which means that every element in SVG DOM is available. You can attach a JavaScript event handler to an element.

In SVG, each drawing is treated as an object. If the properties of the SVG object change, the browser can automatically reproduce the graphics.

Canvas

Canvas uses JavaScript to draw 2D graphics.

Canvas is rendered pixel by pixel.

In canvas, once the graph is drawn, it will no longer get the attention of the browser. If its position changes, the entire scene also needs to be redrawn, including any objects that may have been covered by the drawing.

Comparison between Canvas and SVG

The following table lists some of the differences between canvas and SVG.

Canvas

Dependent resolution

Event handlers are not supported

Weak text rendering ability

The resulting image can be saved in .png or .jpg format

Most suitable for image-intensive games, in which many objects are frequently redrawn

SVG

Independent of resolution

Support for event handlers

Best suited for applications with large rendering areas (such as Google Maps)

High complexity slows down rendering (any application that uses DOM too much is not happy)

Not suitable for game applications
