Reference implementations

This record complements SOURCE.md. Revisions were inspected on 2026-08-01/02 while implementing SVG Tools 0.1.0. Reference code, fixtures, assets, branding and explanatory text were not copied or adapted; the shipped path, transform, security and test code is project-authored.

Reference Exact revision/version Licence Purpose and decision
Toolbox SDK ef2dab4b46c61812c9a877d8a19fe497b4a4630a / packages 0.2.3 Apache-2.0 Adopted through its published contract, AppShell and testkit APIs.
Toolbox Portal 55b2b12434465511586eaa2d0a43e81770868738 (v0.9.3 before integration) AGPL-3.0-only Studied for release assembly, nested deployment, catalogue and shell conventions. SVG Tools is consumed only as an immutable release artifact.
SVG-Edit 244a26c88e1ab1c32911c5b3637e214d7a7d8b25 MIT Interaction and implementation reference only. Its canvas/document model was not adopted because canonical SVG source must remain authoritative.
SVG Path Editor 937d75a83b6be2bdda11d02b9b3594841315223a MIT Path interaction reference only. Its source was not copied; SVG Tools uses its own source-ranged path model.
SVGPathCommander 9aa91dd2119ee6a65b1807d55d33e86b1ccb27fc MIT Evaluated for parsing and geometry, then not shipped. The initial project-authored core is smaller and retains source-command fragments.
DOMPurify 9365501773d6665aaf334d8afa55081b9930a684 / npm 3.4.12 MPL-2.0 OR Apache-2.0 Adopted as the first projection-sanitization layer, followed by application-owned SVG, URL and parsed-CSS policy checks.
SVGO npm 4.0.2, published gitHead b2309cf541aee11634eb653157b0ff86ab326e98 MIT Adopted behind a cancelable application worker. Direct GitHub cloning was unavailable in the build environment, so the exact locked npm source identity is recorded.
css-tree npm 3.2.1 MIT Adopted for stylesheet, declaration and animation-value parsing.
fflate npm 0.8.3 MIT Adopted for deterministic SVGZ output and bounded streaming decompression.

Boxy SVG and SVGViewer were consulted only as public product/interaction references. Their proprietary source and assets were not used.

No boolean geometry engine was adopted: PathBool.js was considered too early for a mandatory production dependency, while Paper.js and PathKit would add a large secondary geometry/runtime model before the required fixture and fuzz spikes. No third-party raster engine was adopted; 0.1.0 uses the browser SVG decoder and Canvas 2D behind explicit limits. These decisions deliberately leave boolean operations and deterministic cross-browser rasterization on the roadmap rather than overstating support.
