Snap.svg is a JavaScript library for creating, manipulating, and animating scalable vector graphics directly in the web browser. It functions as a browser-based SVG generator and vector graphics manipulation tool, providing a framework to programmatically generate complex drawings and masks.
The project serves as an animation engine for transitioning visual properties and attributes over time to create motion. It enables the development of dynamic SVG content, including the ability to animate viewboxes, matrices, and polygon points.
Its capability surface covers geometric calculations and the management of element hierarchies. It also provides utilities for managing SVG gradients, applying CSS classes, and exporting vector graphics as raster images or JSON data.
