API layers SVG support

The API layers endpoint now supports SVG images. This comes with great advantages for developers.

The power of SVG

SVG is an XML-based vector image format, where XML is human-readable text.

Define drawing objects and use it with the Eyeson API. The actual image is created on our server, so the whole process of creating, sending and drawing the overlay is way faster than before.

In other words:

  • Significantly smaller file sizes
  • Text-based format that can be edited with code editors
  • Original quality in contrast to compression of PNG, WebP, etc.
