Super strong public API for the manipulation and animation!

Adobe put out public “Snap.svg”, an OSS JavaScript library, for Web designers and developers who uses SVG.
Snap.svg is a useful and intuitive API for animating and controlling SVG contents.
It supports masking, clipping, pattering, and full gradationing to construct attractive contents.
SVG can be edited with text editer, but other hand so much time and effort is needed.
With this API, you can cut those loss and make light weight sites.
