Introduction to <svg>tag

The <svg>tag is an integral component of modern web development, enabling the creation of vector-based graphics directly within HTML documents. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are a resolution-independent format, which ensures sharp rendering on devices with varying screen sizes and pixel densities. SVG is particularly well-suited for responsive design, high-definition displays, and interactive web applications.
