# is-svg [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/is-svg) > Check if a string or buffer is [SVG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics) ## Install ``` $ npm install is-svg ``` ## Usage ```js const isSvg = require('is-svg'); isSvg('<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="#00CD9F"/></svg>'); //=> true ``` ## Edge cases This module performs a quick-and-dirty check. It's fast, but in certain cases it will give incorrect results. - Returns `true` for an SVG-like string that isn't well-formed or valid: `<svg><div></svg>` If you want to make certain that your SVG is *valid*, try parsing it with [libxmljs](https://github.com/polotek/libxmljs). ## License MIT © [Sindre Sorhus](https://sindresorhus.com)
