TapTechNews July 12th news, Microsoft Corporation today released a press release announcing that Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based browsers can all support copying and pasting SVG format files by invoking the AsyncClipboardAPI.
This means that any application that wishes to use SVG, whether it is a local application or a web application, can copy and paste SVG data.
TapTechNews note: SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, which can present high-quality visual effects on the web and is the best choice for graphics.
This format saves space and does not affect the image quality when resizing the image, but there are some challenges when dealing with the SVG image format in applications.
Among them, the traditional DataTransferAPI (used to obtain the data stored in the clipboard) does not have built-in support for SVGMIME type files, so it is difficult for web applications to support copying or pasting SVG content.
Microsoft said that starting from Microsoft Edge version 124, through the brand-new AsyncClipboardAPI, native copy, cut and paste operations from web page to local application, local application to web page, and web page to web page can be achieved.
Microsoft is committed to updating the Clipboard API W3C specification and contributing the code to the Chromium open source project so that it can be used by other Chromium-based browsers.
