Svgg

Svgg is a term that has appeared in multiple technical contexts but does not denote a single, widely adopted standard. In practice, svgg is most often encountered as an acronym used by projects or discussions related to vector graphics, in particular those that deal with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

Possible meanings include: Scalable Vector Graphics Generator, a conceptual or actual toolchain component that produces SVG output; Simple Vector Graphics Grammar, a small domain-specific language for describing shapes and styles that can be rendered to vector images; and as a generic shorthand used in filenames or repository names to indicate SVG-related assets or components. Because svgg is not standardized, its exact meaning varies between communities and projects.

In the open-source and hobbyist scene, svgg is sometimes used informally in READMEs or wikis to shortcut longer descriptions; there is no universally accepted syntax, format, or specification associated with svgg itself. Different projects may define their own conventions under this label, leading to potential ambiguity when the term appears without context.

Relation to SVG: The abbreviation is often connected to SVG due to the shared focus on vector-based imagery, but svgg is not a formal substitute for the official SVG specification maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium. When precision is needed, refer to SVG or to the specific project’s documentation that uses the svgg label.
