SVG Based GUI
Starting off, SVG is an XML encoding, which is a rather hairy thing to deal with. Just to get a feel for LOCs:
https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2
There's also the web's (horrible) tendency to make a diarrhea of special-purpose tags and attributes--many of which could be easily subsumed by basic turing-completeness. Compare to postscript, which was a relatively simple, turing complete, stack machine to begin with.
And of course, if we start special-purposing things, we're no longer compliant with the standard, and it would be chaos to call it SVG at that point.
What are some alternatives?
Xerces-C++ - Apache Xerces-C validating XML parser
TinyXML - TinyXML2 is a simple, small, efficient, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrated into other programs.
PugiXML - Light-weight, simple and fast XML parser for C++ with XPath support
Libxml2 - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2
TinyXML++ - This project is obsolete. TinyXML-2 offers a very similar C++ interface.
OpenSSL - TLS/SSL and crypto library
pdfalto - PDF to XML ALTO file converter
ZLib - A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.
