SwiftSVG is a lightweight, performant SVG parser library for Swift that converts SVG files into native iOS/macOS drawing primitives like UIBezierPath, CAShapeLayer, and UIView. It is designed for flat, solid-color SVG elements such as app icons, not full SVG feature coverage.

Use cases

• render svg icons in an ios app
• theme svg icons at runtime for light and dark mode
• convert svg paths to uibezierpath
• display many svg files quickly on ios
• parse svg shapes into cashapelayer
• use svg in interface builder with ibdesignable views

When to choose

• you need fast rendering of flat, solid-color svg icons on apple platforms
• you want to recolor or theme svg icons at runtime
• you need a lightweight svg parser without gradients, text, or animation support
• you want multiple output interfaces like UIView, CALayer, or UIBezierPath

When to avoid

• your svgs use gradients, text, or animations
• you need a full-featured, spec-compliant svg renderer
• you are not targeting apple/swift platforms
• you need cross-platform svg rendering outside the Apple ecosystem
