Documentation on the library development is available here.
react-native-svg provides SVG support for React Native, allowing you to render SVG images and create complex vector graphics. While it is also used for drawing shapes and animations, it is more focused on SVG standards and may not offer the same level of performance as @shopify/react-native-skia for complex graphics.
react-native-reanimated is a library for creating smooth animations in React Native. It provides a more comprehensive animation API compared to @shopify/react-native-skia, but it is not specifically designed for drawing and rendering graphics.
react-native-canvas is a wrapper around the HTML5 Canvas API for React Native. It allows you to draw 2D graphics using a familiar API, but it may not offer the same performance optimizations and advanced features as @shopify/react-native-skia.
