Overview

Svg.Skia is a repository, not just a single package. The main entry points are:

Package or tool	Use it when	Main output	Detailed guide
`Svg.Skia`	You want to load SVG or Android VectorDrawable content and render with SkiaSharp.	`SKPicture`, bitmap, pdf, xps, svg	Svg.Skia
`Svg.Model`	You need the intermediate picture-recording model or SVG-related helper types.	`ShimSkiaSharp` command model	Svg.Model
`Svg.Custom`	You want the underlying SVG DOM used by the renderer.	`SvgDocument`, `SvgElement`, parser APIs	Svg.Custom
`ShimSkiaSharp`	You want the cloneable drawing-command model directly.	`SKPicture`, `SKCanvas`, `SKPath`, `SKPaint`	ShimSkiaSharp
`Svg.Controls.Skia.Uno`	You want Uno controls that render through the Skia-backed pipeline.	`Svg`, `SvgSource`, hit testing, zoom/pan	Svg.Controls.Skia.Uno
`Svg.Controls.Skia.Avalonia`	You want Avalonia controls that render through the Skia-backed pipeline.	`Svg`, `SvgImage`, `SvgSource`, `SvgResource`	Svg.Controls.Skia.Avalonia
`Svg.Controls.Avalonia`	You want Avalonia controls without depending on the Skia-backed Avalonia renderer path.	`Svg`, `SvgImage`, `SvgSource`, `SvgResource`	Svg.Controls.Avalonia
`Skia.Controls.Avalonia`	You need general-purpose `SKCanvas`, `SKPicture`, `SKBitmap`, or `SKPath` controls in Avalonia.	`SKCanvasControl`, `SKPictureImage`, and related controls	Skia.Controls.Avalonia
`Svg.Editor.*`	You want reusable SVG editor components, from session/services up to a full Avalonia workspace.	`SvgEditorSession`, editor services, panels, `SvgEditorWorkspace`	Editor
`Svg.CodeGen.Skia`	You want to generate checked-in or pipeline-produced C# from the picture model.	C# source from `ShimSkiaSharp.SKPicture`	Svg.CodeGen.Skia
`Svg.SourceGenerator.Skia`	You want compile-time generated `SKPicture` classes from `.svg` assets.	generated `*.svg.cs` files	Svg.SourceGenerator.Skia
`svgc` sample tool	You want to generate C# source from SVG files outside Roslyn source generators.	C# files on disk	Source Generator and svgc
`Svg.Skia.Converter`	You want a CLI or global tool that batch-converts files.	png, jpg, jpeg, webp, pdf, xps	Samples and Tools

Typical paths

Runtime rendering

Start with Svg.Skia if your application already uses SkiaSharp or needs direct access to SKPicture.

Avalonia application

Start with Svg.Controls.Skia.Avalonia when the app is already on Avalonia plus Skia.

Choose Svg.Controls.Avalonia when you want the same SVG concepts exposed through the Avalonia drawing stack instead.

Uno application

Start with Svg.Controls.Skia.Uno when the app is on Uno Platform and you want direct SKCanvasElement rendering plus async asset loading, hit testing, and viewport controls.

Embedded editor

Start with Svg.Editor.Skia.Avalonia when the target is an editable SVG workspace rather than a viewer-only control.

Move down to the other Svg.Editor.* packages when the host needs only panels, dialogs, SVG mutation services, or low-level interaction helpers.

Static asset generation

Use Svg.SourceGenerator.Skia when SVG assets should be compiled into strongly named classes during build.

Use svgc when you want the same generated-code approach as a manual step or as part of a custom pipeline.

Batch conversion

Use Svg.Skia.Converter when you need command-line automation for folders, patterns, or repeated exports.

What this repository emphasizes

SVG 1.1 subset rendering with SkiaSharp output.
Android VectorDrawable import and validation coverage.
Model-level editing and picture rebuild support.
Avalonia controls, image sources, and brush helpers.
Verification through unit tests, UI tests, and W3C test-suite assets.
