It seems the only alternative is Skia (https://skia.org/ https://skia.org/), which is a Google project…
- dylan604 6y agogreat, so it has what 18 months before being killed off?
- Matheus28 6y agoIt's used by Chrome, Blink, and a lot of other projects, so unlikely to be killed any time soon.
- mdwrigh2 6y agoSkia has been around for 15 years (open source for 12) and is used in a number of high priority projects for Google (e.g. Android, Chrome). It's incredibly unlikely it will be killed any time soon.
- Matheus28 6y agoSide note: Skia can't render SVGs directly. You need a separate library to do the parsing and issue commands to Skia. I think they might have experimental support for simple svgs committed in the repo, though.
- badsectoracula 6y agoAFAIK one issue with Skia is that its API is not stable (and it is written in C++ which makes stability kinda hard) whereas Cairo's API has been stable for a long time.
