Intent to prototype SVG new path data API

[Robert Longson]

Summary: SVG 1.1 had a path API that was deprecated in SVG 2 and removed from all browsers. A new API has been created.

A polyfill already exists for part of this API https://github.com/jarek-foksa/path-data-polyfill We can compare our implementation's functionality against that.

Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1934525

Specification: https://svgwg.org/specs/paths/#DOMInterfaces

Standards body: w3c

Hi Robert,

Can you please share the status of this API in the other browser engines?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Various requests in https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40441025 for it to be implemented but seems like little progress.

Looks like Safari hasn't implemented either the path d property (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234227) or removed the old path API (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168519). Implementing the new API without removing the old one would make things much more complicated so I imagine they would want to fix both those issues first.
