Please see our roadmap update [here](https://forum.juce.com/t/juce-roadmap-update-q3-2024/62275).

In it, it says (emphasis mine)

> It’s time to disentangle JUCE’s Drawable class (which wraps SVG) from JUCE Components. At the moment working with any SVG data requires that you pull in the _juce\_gui\_basics_ module, which is a substantially heavier dependency than just _juce\_graphics_ , and this slows down the compilation of helper executables required to build via CMake. **We will also use this opportunity to evaluate a third-party SVG parsing library to bring our SVG compliance up to date.**

Others have since pointed out that the JUCE SVG functionality may actually be better than most other 3rd party libraries so when we get to that we’ll have to take a closer look.
