iOS : display svg from JSON

Question

I'm trying to display a svg file in my iOS application.

The svg file is given to me by a REST API. So I end up with an answer like this from the API :

{
   "response": {
      "data": {
         “var2”: “svgCodeXML”
      }, "status": "ok"
   } 
}

Currently I'm displaying it in a web view and it's displaying.

I'd like to display the svg directly in my iOS app, without a web view.

I've been looking at the SVGKit library but I haven't found a way to do it.

Do anybody know how to achieve this purpose?

Thank you very much.

`SVGKit` does not support loading images from a string, so you will have to save the SVG XML to a file and load it from there with `SVGKit`. — rckoenes, Oct 14 '14 at 12:01
I think they currently do support loading from a string by using `SVGKParser`? — Jody Heavener, Nov 21 '14 at 01:51
SVGKit has supported loading from string for a couple of years now. — Adam, Oct 26 '18 at 15:40

but this is **Asset Catalogs**... How that works if you get the svg image from REST API and try to display it in UIImageView? – beryllium Aug 05 '20 at 12:53
