Which Should You Use?
In most circumstances, I recommend using the <object> tag to display SVG images. It feels a little unnatural, but it’s the most reliable method if you want to provide dynamic effects.
For images without interaction, the <img> tag or a CSS background can be used.
Inline SVGs or iframes are possibly options for some projects, but it’s best to avoid <embed>.
Coming soon: further SVG articles including CSS and scripting…
