Welcome to the Dev Weapons API's

Dev Weapons are tools that can be used to help a developer with their everyday jobs.

New weapons will be added as they are created.

Low Quality Image Placeholder (LQIP) comparison with source

Low-quality image placeholders (LQIPs) are small, blurry images that are embedded into the markup of the page as placeholders for their larger source images. As the larger source images are loaded, they will be revealed using lazy loading javascript.

This API allows for the creation of the those placeholder images.

SVG Low Quality Image Placeholder (SQIP)

SVG low-quality image placeholders (SQIP's) are like LQIP images - small and blurry - but are vector graphic representations of those images. The advantage of SVG is a smoother image and the size is often smaller than traditional LQIP's.

This API allows for the creation of the those placeholder images.
