What is the difference between Canvas and SVG graphics?

#2

Canvas draws 2D graphics, with the help of JavaScript whereas SVG is a language for describing 2D graphics in XML. In SVG, each shape drawn is identified as an object. So, if any changes done, the browser can automatically re-render the shape. In Canvas is rendered pixel by pixel. Once the graphic is drawn, it is forgotten by the browser.
