difference between canvas and svg??

Question

describe difference between canvas and SVG ... which is more important.......

Answer 1

Canvas is like a sheet of paper you can freely draw on and erase.

Svg is a vector graphic which is like a normal image except it can scale without getting pixelated.

Answer 2

Canvas draws 2D graphics, on the fly (with a JavaScript). SVG is XML based, which means that every element is available within the SVG DOM.
If attributes of an SVG object are changed, the browser can automatically re-render the shape.Canvas is rendered pixel by pixel.
