| 13 | ## Usage
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 | ```js
|
| 16 | const isSvg = require('is-svg');
|
| 17 |
|

|
| 23 | ## Edge cases
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 | This module performs a quick-and-dirty check. It's fast, but in certain cases it will give incorrect results.
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 | - Returns `true` for an SVG-like string that isn't well-formed or valid: `<svg><div></svg>`
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 | If you want to make certain that your SVG is *valid*, try parsing it with [libxmljs](https://github.com/polotek/libxmljs).
