HTML 5
(Hypertext Markup Language, version 5) is the latest version of the standard markup language used for creating and structuring content on the World Wide Web. HTML 5 was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W 3 C) to provide a more streamlined and efficient language for creating web pages and applications.
Some of the new features in HTML 5 include:
- Improved support for multimedia: provides native support for audio and video playback, without requiring third-party plugins like Flash.
- Simplified structure: HTM L 5 introduces new elements that make it easier to structure content, such as the <header>, <na v>, <article>, and <footer> elements.
- Improved accessibility: HTML 5 includes new attributes that make it easier to create accessible content, such as the “aria-” attributes for defining roles and states.
- Mobile optimization: HTML 5 includes features that are designed to improve the experience of browsing the web on mobile devices, such as the ability to specify different screen sizes and orientations.
- Offline storage: HTML 5 includes a new API called the Web Storage API, which allows web applications to store data locally on the user’s device, even when they are not connected to the internet.
Overall, HTML 5 provides a more modern and flexible foundation for creating web content, with features that are designed to make it easier to create accessible, multimedia-rich, and mobile-friendly websites and applications.
