An AsyncIterator object is an object that conforms to the async iterator protocol by providing a next() method that returns a promise fulfilling to an iterator result object. The AsyncIterator.prototype object is a hidden global object that all built-in async iterators inherit from. It provides a [Symbol.asyncIterator]() method that returns the async iterator object itself, making the async iterator also async iterable.

When talking about text in SVG, we have to differentiate between two almost completely separate topics. One is the inclusion and display of text in an image, and the other is SVG fonts. The latter is described in a later section of the tutorial, while this page will focus on the first part: bringing text into an SVG image.

In programming, inheritance refers to passing down characteristics from a parent to a child so that a new piece of code can reuse and build upon the features of an existing one. JavaScript implements inheritance by using objects. Each object has an internal link to another object called its prototype. That prototype object has a prototype of its own, and so on until an object is reached with null as its prototype. By definition, null has no prototype and acts as the final link in this prototype chain. It is possible to mutate any member of the prototype chain or even swap out the prototype at runtime, so concepts like static dispatching do not exist in JavaScript.

As an XML dialect, SVG is namespaced. It is important to understand the concept of namespaces and how they are used if you plan to author SVG content. Namespaces are essential to user agents that support multiple XML dialects; browsers must be very strict. Taking the time to understand namespaces now will save you from future headaches.

A WeakMap is a collection of key/value pairs whose keys must be objects or non-registered symbols, with values of any arbitrary JavaScript type, and which does not create strong references to its keys. That is, an object's presence as a key in a WeakMap does not prevent the object from being garbage collected. Once an object used as a key has been collected, its corresponding values in any WeakMap become candidates for garbage collection as well — as long as they aren't strongly referred to elsewhere. The only primitive type that can be used as a WeakMap key is symbol — more specifically, non-registered symbols — because non-registered symbols are guaranteed to be unique and cannot be re-created.

The exponentiation assignment (**=) operator performs exponentiation on the two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.

SVG drawings and images are created using a wide array of elements which are dedicated to the construction, drawing, and layout of vector images and diagrams. Here you'll find reference documentation for each of the SVG elements.
