Batik is a Java-based toolkit for applications that want to use images in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format for various purposes, such as viewing, generation, or manipulation. It gives developers a set of core modules (parsers, generators, DOM implementation) which can be used together or individually, and be highly extensible. It comes with a full-fledged SVG viewer.
