How do I know if my browser supports SVG 2.0?

(Apart from trying a feature that is supposed to work in SVG2 and realizing it's not working or that it works ...?)

    Check your calendar. When it says 2018, your browser may support SVG 2. – Michael Mullany Sep 29 '14 at 06:21

    2018-01-01 now, but.. it turns out that [SVG 2 is on life support](http://tavmjong.free.fr/svg2_status.html). – Yeti Jan 01 '18 at 10:18

    Or perhaps "[after a near death experience, SVG 2 is back."](https://www.patreon.com/posts/svg-2-status-19078074) At least, this [Patreon page](https://www.patreon.com/tavmjong) seems to have some modest support and occasional [updates](https://www.patreon.com/posts/svg-2-update-20335982) and talk of[fallbacks](https://www.patreon.com/posts/svg-2-fallbacks-23506209) that work in conjunction with InkScape exports and browsers. – Weston C Jan 13 '19 at 22:26

From what I understand SVG 2.0 is still a work in progress with no full browser implementation.

For the more elusive features of SVG that may not be implemented by all browser you can check CanIUse to see if the feature is supported.

Asking if a browser supports SVG 2 is like asking if a browser supports HTML5. It seems like a totally reasonable question, but it doesn't work like that.

The best we can do is test if a browser supports a feature, rather than a version of spec.
