This example shows a stylized smiley face composed of SVG primitives—a pink circle, two colored ellipses for eyes, and a red quadratic curve for the mouth—rendered on a 960×500 canvas. The code uses React.js to define the SVG elements as JSX, with ReactDOM rendering the component into the root div. Hardcoded coordinates and stroke widths create the face, demonstrating how React updates SVG attributes declaratively while leveraging the vector-based, lossless scaling properties of SVG.

AI-generated description

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are well-suited to lossless image data compression algorithms. The best part about SVG is that it's vector based instead of raster based, so there's no need to worry about images becoming "pixelated" when authors scale their images in addition to yielding smaller file sizes.
