Is there a way to aminate an SVG Path with jQuery?

Answer 1

In short, no. At least not with jQuery alone. jQuery is designed to animate HTML elements, and to leverage it for SVG animation, the use of a third-party library built with jQuery would need to be pulled in. One suggestion would be to use CSS to animate your SVGs. This would limit the number of calls to outside JavaScript libraries, reducing load as well and use your existing CSS.
