Is there a way to export shapefile to SVG while keeping attributes?

I tried the mapshaper and QGIS' Mapprinter plugin but with no result, I get the geometry only but I need attributes.

I want when I export to fill the svg id with values from a column so I can join them afterward

    SVG doesn't support attributes, so it seems unlikely. – Vince Feb 05 '21 at 14:18

    What tools/software do you have? – Mapperz Feb 05 '21 at 16:16
  • it will be preferable if I can use qgis or arcgis, but I can try any tool – Ismail Feb 08 '21 at 09:07
  • Thera was an answer ( can't retrieve it..) to create dynamic svg where the text part came from an attribute, you may try look it up – J.R Feb 09 '21 at 19:02

You may use mapshaper, using command line

# Get data for demo
https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/10m/cultural/ne_10m_admin_0_countries.zip
# Uncompress
unzip ne_10m_admin_0_countries.zip

From mapshaper, add id to svg output


mapshaper ne_10m_admin_0_countries.shp -o format=svg id-field="ADM0_A3" out.svg

To get attribute in your svg just label your feature with that field and export that. It will label the feature in svg too.
