Better SVG Fallback and Art Direction With The picture Element

Read Original

This technical article discusses the limitations of using the <img> tag for responsive SVG images, which requires JavaScript for fallback and art direction. It proposes using the HTML <picture> element as a superior, native solution for serving SVG images with appropriate fallbacks and different image sources based on viewport size, reducing reliance on JavaScript.
