Vexy Vsvg VSVG

SVG optimization for Rust. Parse → optimize → stringify.

Feed it bloated SVGs from Illustrator, Figma, or Inkscape; get back lean, identical-looking output. Same plugin names and config format as SVGO, but compiled to native code.

How it works

SVG text → Parser (quick-xml) → Document AST → 52 plugins → Stringifier → SVG text

• Parsing: Turns XML into a mutable [Document] tree with [Element] nodes.
• Plugins: 52 optimization passes — each implements the [Plugin] trait and walks the AST via the Visitor pattern.
• Optimization: Runs enabled plugins in order, with optional multipass until the output stabilizes.
• Stringification: Converts the AST back to XML, minified or pretty-printed.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
vexy-vsvg = "2.1.1"

Optimize an SVG string with default settings:

use vexy_vsvg::{optimize_default, VexyError};

fn main() -> Result<(), VexyError> {
    let svg = r#"<svg><rect width="100" height="100"/></svg>"#;
    let result = optimize_default(svg)?;
    
    println!("Optimized: {}", result.data);
    Ok(())
}

Configure specific plugins:

use vexy_vsvg::{optimize, Config, PluginConfig};

let mut config = Config::default();
config.plugins.push(PluginConfig::Name("removeDimensions".to_string()));

let svg = r#"<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10" width="10" height="10">...</svg>"#;
let result = optimize(svg, config.into()).unwrap();
