svgtypes

svgtypes is a collection of parsers, containers and writers for SVG 1.1 types.

Usage is simple as:

use svgtypes::Path;

let path: Path = "M10-20A5.5.3-4 110-.1".parse().unwrap();
assert_eq!(path.to_string(), "M 10 -20 A 5.5 0.3 -4 1 1 0 -0.1");

You can also use a low-level, pull-based parser:

use svgtypes::PathParser;

let p = PathParser::from("M10-20A5.5.3-4 110-.1");
for token in p {
    println!("{:?}", token);
}

You can also tweak an output format:

use svgtypes::{Path, WriteBuffer, WriteOptions};

let path_str = "M10-20A5.5.3-4 110-.1";
let path: Path = path_str.parse().unwrap();

let opt = WriteOptions {
    remove_leading_zero: true,
    use_compact_path_notation: true,
    join_arc_to_flags: true,
    .. WriteOptions::default()
};

assert_eq!(path.with_write_opt(&opt).to_string(), path_str);

Supported SVG types

• All types implement from string (FromStr) and to string traits (Display, WriteBuffer).
• The library doesn't store transform list as is. It will premultiplied.
• The paint type can only be parsed.

Benefits

• Complete support of paths, so data like M10-20A5.5.3-4 110-.1 will be parsed correctly.
• Access to pull-based parsers.
• Pretty fast.

Limitations

• Accepts only normalized values, e.g. an input text should not contain   or &data;.
• All keywords must be lowercase. Case-insensitive parsing is supported only for colors (requires allocation for named colors).
• The <color> followed by the <icccolor> is not supported. As the <icccolor> itself.
• System colors, like fill="AppWorkspace", are not supported. They were deprecated anyway.
• Implicit path commands are not supported. All commands will be parsed as explicit.
• Implicit MoveTo commands will be automatically converted into explicit LineTo.

Safety

• The library should not panic. Any panic considered as a critical bug and should be reported.
• The library forbids unsafe code.

Alternatives

None.

Migration from svgparser

This crate is a successor for the svgparser crate, but it differs from it in many ways.

• There is no XML parser or writer. You can use any you like.
• Unlike the svgparser this crate not only parse values but can also store and write them. Currently, it has a minimal API for manipulating this values.
• No AttributeValue. This crate provides only value parsers. You should match attributes and values by yourself.
• No ValueId. It's up to you how to store those values.
