A lot of tools generate or output #SVG. But, oh boy, is it usually bad SVG. Bloated with inline attributes and meaningless order. Bah.
I spent probably 5 hrs life unwinding a SVG generated by drawio into something reasonable enough to add to some #documentation.
What I'd love is some tool could use a heuristic or AI to assign classes and IDs to SVG markup and maybe even group visually connected items together.
