Seeking a good solution for SVG + Javascript framework

Question

I'm looking to hear others experiences with SVG + Javascript Frameworks.

Things that I'd like the framework to handle - DOM creation, event handling and minimal size.

Jquery SVG plugin - http://keith-wood.name/svg.html seems to be the only one I can find.

Answer 1

Do you need SVG or just vector-like graphics manipulation? John Resig ported the "Processing" visualization language to JavaScript. I never used it, but from the creator of jQuery it may help you out if you don't actually require SVG.

Answer 2

A lot of useful information in the "Scripting SVG" question.

Answer 3

I haven't used it yet, but i bookmarked PlotKit some time ago because it's a javascript framework that generates svg

Answer 4

Raphael is a javascript framework for manipulating vector graphics, either with SVG or VML, depending on what the browser supports.

Answer 5

My favorite JavaScript framework is jQuery. But original jQuery package is unable to run inside SVG because of some HTML-specific places.

But I have patched the newest version of jQuery (1.4.2) so it is able to run under SVG now. You can take patched jQuery package from here.

A single issue with it is that SVG doesn't invoke initialization function from incuded jQuery source so I was to introduce jQueryInitialize function and jQueryInitialize(window); must be invoked manually in svg:onload event.
