SVG Decoder about svg HOT 4 CLOSED

There's no SVG parser as part of this library. Can you outline your usage scenario? We don't add features without a concrete example of why it's a good idea.

Sure thing. I've been playing around with using this package to programmatically create SVG, and it works great. But I frequently create SVG content offline which I then want to use in a webpage. In JS, I use XHR to fetch it. Then I can add event handlers finally add it as an <svg> node. In Elm, the best I can do is fetch it as text, but then I have no way to parse it into a form that would be useable by this package. Seems like it might be a generally useful piece of functionality, similar to the great JSON decoding tools that exist in Elm.

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

Sorry about the robot, it got out of whack for a little while!

It sounds like an XML decoder may be the thing you are looking for? It should cover this case right? Like, someone could make an SVG specific thing on top of an XML decoder.
