## What it is
SVG.NET is a C# library for reading, writing, and rendering SVG 1.1 images in .NET applications. It targets .NET Standard 2.0 and is distributed as a NuGet package, working on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

## Use cases
- render svg files in a .net application
- convert svg to png in c#
- read and manipulate svg dom in c#
- generate svg images programmatically in .net
- load svg vector graphics in a desktop app

## When to choose
- you need SVG parsing, manipulation, or rendering in a .NET Standard 2.0 compatible project
- you want a mature C# SVG library available via NuGet
- you need cross-platform SVG support on Windows, Linux, and macOS

## When to avoid
- you need full SVG 2 or advanced rendering fidelity on Linux/macOS, which has known limitations
- you are not working in a .NET/C# environment
- you need a browser-grade SVG renderer with complete CSS and animation support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, parser, image-processing
- domain: graphics, web-development, files
- platform: cross-platform, windows, dotnet
- tags: svg, vector-graphics, c-sharp, nuget, dom, css, rendering, linux, macos
