Apache Batik

Batik is a pure-Java library that can be used to render, generate, and manipulate SVG graphics. IBM supported the project[citation needed] and then donated the code to the Apache Software Foundation, where other companies and teams decided to join efforts. Batik provides a set of core modules that provide functionality to:

The Batik distribution also contains a ready-to-use SVG browser (called Squiggle) making use of the above modules.

The name of the library comes from the Batik painting technique.

Batik was long the most conformant existing SVG 1.1 implementation, with the 1.7 version passing almost 94% of the W3C SVG 1.1 tests, which at the time was just a small fraction behind Opera in SVG conformance. Today all the major web browsers support SVG 2 while Batik remains on 1.1.

Version 1.7, made available on January 10, 2008, had an "almost full" implementation of the current state of the sXBL specification, a nearly complete implementation of SVG declarative animation SMIL features, and some of the SVG 1.2 late October 2004 working draft, although that version of SVG was dropped for SVG 2 (see SVG's Development history).
