You can use this pod called  SVGParser   https   cocoapods org pods SVGParser   After adding it in your pod file  all you have to do is to import this module to the class that you want to use it  You should show the SVG image in an ImageView    There are three cases you can show this SVGimage     Load SVG from local path as Data Load SVG from local path Load SVG from remote URL   You can also find an example project in GitHub  https   github com AndreyMomot SVGParser  Just download the project and run it to see how it works

You can use SVGKit for example   1  Integrate it according to instructions  Drag amp dropping the  framework file is fast and easy   2  Make sure you have an Objective-C to Swift bridge file bridging-header h with import code in it    import  lt SVGKit SVGKit h gt   import  lt SVGKit SVGKImage h gt    3  Use the framework like this  assuming that dataFromInternet is NSData  previously downloaded from network   let anSVGImage  SVGKImage   SVGKImage data  dataFromInternet  myIUImageView image   anSVGImage UIImage   The framework also allows to init an SVGKImage from other different sources  for example it can download image for you when you provide it with URL  But in my case it was crashing in case of unreachable url  so it turned out to be better to manage networking by myself  More info on it here

There is no Inbuilt support for SVG in Swift  So we need to use other libraries   The simple SVG libraries in swift are    1  SwiftSVG Library  It gives you more option to Import as UIView  CAShapeLayer  Path  etc  To modify your SVG Color and Import as UIImage you can use my extension codes for the library mentioned in below link    Click here to know on using SwiftSVG library   Using SwiftSVG to set SVG for Image   OR   2  SVGKit Library  2 1  Use pod to install    pod  SVGKit    git   gt   https   github com SVGKit SVGKit git    branch   gt   2 x    2 2  Add framework     Goto AppSettings   -  General Tab   -  Scroll down to Linked Frameworks and Libraries   -  Click on plus icon   -  Select SVG framework   2 3  Add in Objective-C to Swift bridge file bridging-header h     import  lt SVGKit SVGKit h gt   import  lt SVGKit SVGKImage h gt    2 4  Create SvgImg Folder  for better organization  in Project and add SVG files inside it      Note   Adding Inside Assets Folder won t work and SVGKit searches for file only in Project folders   2 5  Use in your Swift Code as below    import SVGKit   and  let namSvgImgVar  SVGKImage   SVGKImage named   NamSvgImj        Note   SVGKit Automatically apends extention   svg  to the string you specify   let namSvgImgVyuVar   SVGKImageView SVGKImage  namSvgImgVar   let namImjVar  UIImage   namSvgImgVar UIImage   There are many more options for you to init SVGKImage and SVGKImageView  There are also other classes u can explore      SVGRect     SVGCurve     SVGPoint     SVGAngle     SVGColor     SVGLength      and etc

You can keep your images as strings and use WKWebView to display them   let webView  WKWebView         let mySVGImage     lt svg height   190   gt  lt polygon points   100 10 40 180 190 60 10 60 160 180   style   fill lime stroke purple stroke-width 5 fill-rule evenodd    gt  lt  svg gt       let preferences   WKPreferences       preferences javaScriptEnabled   false     let configuration   WKWebViewConfiguration       configuration preferences   preferences     let wv   WKWebView frame   zero  configuration  configuration      wv scrollView isScrollEnabled   false     wv loadHTMLString mySVGImage  baseURL  nil      return wv

As I know there are 2 different graphic formats    Raster graphics  uses bitmaps  and is used  in JPEG  PNG  APNG  GIF  and MPEG4 file format  Vector graphics   uses points  lines  curves and other shapes   Vector graphics are used  in the SVG  EPS  PDF or AI graphic file formats    So if you need to use an image stored in SVG File in your Xcode I would suggest    Convert SVG file to PDF   I used  https   document online-convert com convert svg-to-pdf Use Xcode to manage you PDF file

In case you want to use a WKWebView to load a  svg image that is coming from a URLRequest  you can simply achieve it like this   Swift 4  if let request   URLRequest url  urlString   let svgString   try  String contentsOf  request      wkWebView loadHTMLString svgString  baseURL  request      It s much simpler than the other ways of doing it  and you can also persist your  svg string somewhere to load it later  even offline if you need to
