I'm wondering... is it worth using ImageVector over xml icons? As ImageVector I mean generated vector path code, like M3 does it for example (Icons.Default.Arrow). Other than theme related benefits, I guess they should be more performant, since xml doesn't need to be parsed?

An internal app saw good wins by switching to ImageVector from XML. This was the fave icon.

Do you mind expanding a bit on your answer? What do you mean by good wins?

[yschimke]

5-10% improvement in a scroll focused benchmark. A lazy column with simple items that included an icon.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing

@yschimke is there a tool to convert them automatically?

Not sure what the best way is, maybe https://github.com/serbelga/compose-vectorize ?
