SVG building library for Java [closed]

Question

Is there a Java library that provides a component-based way to create SVG documents?

I don't need to render SVG, all I want to do is to construct an SVG tree programmatically and in a type-safe way.

Answer 1

Here is an example of how to use Batik to bootstrap and manipulate the SVG DOM:

Answer 2

Batik should do just fine: its not just for rendering, you can do SVG construction/manipulation with it.
