# Introduction

lib-gwt-svg is a library to add SVG graphics to GWT applications.



It offers the following features:



* GWT exposition of 100% of the JavaScript APIs defined in the [SVG 1.1 W3C recommendation (August 11, 2011)](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/ "Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 (Second Edition)").

* Many additional helper methods to improve development productivity.

* Tight integration with GWT, including: SVG resources (with XML validation), SVG in UiBinder definitions, integration with GWT event system, SVG Widgets (images, push and toggle buttons).

* Tight integration with Java, including: iteratable collections, subclassing of SVG elements, complete integration of W3C documentation in the javadocs.

* Open source [LGPLv3](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html "LGPLv3 homepage") license.

* Based on modern tools: maven, sonatype, git, jenkins
