SwiftSVG is not meant to be a full SVG parser. The library supports the most common use cases of flat, solid-color SVG elements. It supports grouping and transformations and can parse all path and shape elements. The best use case for SwiftSVG is for flat icons that you may want to theme at runtime and have good control over. Think icons for your app, especially if you offer light and dark themes. The library can handle complex paths, and more importantly can handle them quickly, so you can use it to display many SVGs, just not every single use case. See the complex example in the examples app. At this time, gradients are not supported, but this is high on the list of features to support next. Furthermore, text is not supported at this time, but shouldn't be too difficult to support. Animations are the last major category that isn't supported, and they probably won't be in the near future seeing Cocoa already provides rich support.
