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.

Assigns a class name or set of class names to an element. You may assign the same class name or names to any number of elements, however, multiple class names must be separated by whitespace characters.

An element's class name serves two key roles:

For general use by the browser.

You can use this class to style SVG content using CSS.
