HTML Preparation code:

<div id="target"></div>

Script Preparation code:

window.sampleSVG = '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 58 58"><path fill="#26b99a" d="M29 58L3 45V13l26 13z"/><path fill="#556080" d="M29 58l26-13V13L29 26z"/><path fill="#434c6d" d="M3 13L28 0l27 13-26 13z"/></svg>'
window.targetNode = document.getElementById("target")

Tests:

innerHTML
let i = 1000 do { window.targetNode.innerHTML = window.sampleSVG window.targetNode.children; window.targetNode.firstChild.remove() } while(--i)

DOMParser + cloneNode
let parser = new DOMParser let svgNode = parser.parseFromString(window.sampleSVG, "image/svg+xml").firstChild let i = 1000 do { window.targetNode.appendChild(svgNode.cloneNode(true)) window.targetNode.children; window.targetNode.firstChild.remove() } while(--i)
