SyntaxError: unknown: Namespace tags are not supported by default
ReactjsSvgReactjs Problem Overview
I get the following error when trying to download svg as a React Component.
>SyntaxError: unknown: Namespace tags are not supported by default. React's JSX doesn't support namespace tags. You can turn on the 'throwIfNamespace' flag to bypass this warning.
import React from "react";
import { ReactComponent as LO } from "../a/Logo.svg"
import { NavLink } from "react-router-dom";
const Logo = () => (
<>
<NavLink to={"/"}>
<LO width={"40px"} height={"40px"} />
</NavLink>
</>
);
export default Logo;
What is the reason ?
Reactjs Solutions
Solution 1 - Reactjs

sketch:type TO sketchType
xmlns:xlink TO xmlnsXlink
xlink:href TO xlinkHref
etc...

Solution 4 - Reactjs
I had the same issue with all my svg files. Opening them in Adobe Illustrator and saving them again solved the issue.
Solution 5 - Reactjs
I recommend using svgo to compress your SVG files. Simple CLI tool that runs with NodeJS and doesn't require you to upload your copyrighted SVGs anywhere.
