Comment on TinyVG – an alternative binary encoded vector graphics format

Comments

Is TinyVG faster to render than SVG? That would be a good justification to use it.

Probably not, because it is just a file format, which does not specify how things are rendered.

But while we are at that, I wish SVG rendering of large paths on Chrome would be as fast as it was before hardware "acceleration" was introduced.

Its simpler format should make it faster to parse & decode, at least. Whether that might affect render times is likely to depend on the renderer itself.
