How to deal with “Namespace prefix xlink for href on image is not defined” in SVG

When using SVG, you may receive the error “Namespace prefix xlink for href on image is not defined”.

This occurs because the xlink:href indicating the SVG link is not properly defined.

As a workaround, add the xmlns:xlink attribute to the SVG tag as follows

<svg xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> ... </svg>

This will correctly define the xlink namespace and eliminate the error.
