Safari

From Svg wiki

Safari is the Apple browser for Mac OS X. The browser is based on the WebKit library, a generic component to display web contents within a Mac OS X application. Since mid-2005, the WebKit team has been busy adding support for SVG via the KSVG project.

While Apple has not announced any formal plans to support SVG in WebKit, and thus Safari, the SVG integration effort has "landed" in the WebKit code base and is present in the nightly builds as of December 2005 [1]. It is expected that SVG will be added to Safari in its next major release.

Apple WebKit SVG developer Eric Seidel maintains a page detailing the level of support of the SVG implementation in WebKit and more information on the WebKit SVG project can be found on its dedicated project page.

With the addition of SVG support, WebKit is able to render compound document web pages, just like Opera and Firefox, where XHTML and SVG can be interleaved within the same document using their respective namespaces. This is also known as Inline SVG and can be used in Internet Explorer with ASV with careful coding, though it is not as full-featured.
