About:
Lunasvg is a standalone C++ library for rendering and manipulating SVG files without external dependencies. It provides a lightweight solution for parsing SVG content and rasterizing it into bitmap images. Its primary value is offering high-performance SVG integration for applications where full browser engines are impractical.

Key Features:

Standalone C++17 library with no external dependencies
Fast SVG parsing and rasterization
Supports CSS styling within SVG files
Simple C API for easy integration

Use Cases:

Embedding SVG rendering capabilities into desktop applications
Converting SVG vector graphics to raster images (PNG/JPG) on the server
Game development for rendering vector assets

Alternatives:

librsvg – Lunasvg is lighter and has fewer dependencies, while librsvg is the standard GNOME implementation with broader spec compliance.
Resvg – Resvg is another high-performance Rust-based alternative, often offering different performance characteristics and feature sets.
