# is-svg [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/is-svg.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/is-svg)

> Check if a string or buffer is [SVG](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics)


## Install

```
$ npm install --save 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).
