SVGElement: dataset property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The dataset read-only property of the SVGElement interface provides read/write access to custom data attributes (data-*) on elements. It exposes a map of strings (DOMStringMap) with an entry for each data-* attribute.

For more information on the behavior of dataset, see HTMLElement.dataset.
