EazyDraw supports both import and export for the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. This is an open standard defined and maintained by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). It is a formal XML language. It is not dictionary based but it (like the EazyDraw graphic format) is extensible.
While EazyDraw's SVG export is robust, it is not recommended for use as the primary master for a drawing.
It is recommended that long term archival (for example the master files saved at the end of a project) be saved uncompressed as SVG and the EazyDraw native graphic format. The dual information will likely prove useful at times in the distant future.
Like the EazyDraw native format, the SVG / XML format is text based and is accessible with any text editor. If these files are damaged with a minor data loss, it is feasible to locate and correct the corruption.
