HTML5 - OVERVIEW

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/html5/html5_overview.htm Copyright tutorialspoint.com

HTML5 is the next major revision of the HTML standard superseding HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, and
XHTML 1.1. HTML5 is a standard for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web.

HTML5 is a cooperation between the World Wide Web Consortium W3C and the Web Hypertext
Application Technology Working Group WHATWG.

The new standard incorporates features like video playback and drag-and-drop that have been
previously dependent on third-party browser plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight,
and Google Gears.

Browser Support
The latest versions of Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera all support many
HTML5 features and Internet Explorer 9.0 will also have support for some HTML5 functionality.

The mobile web browsers that come pre-installed on iPhones, iPads, and Android phones all have
excellent support for HTML5.

New Features
HTML5 introduces a number of new elements and attributes that helps in building a modern
website. Following are great features introduced in HTML5.

New Semantic Elements These are like <header>, <footer>, and <section>.

Forms 2.0 Improvements to HTML web forms where new attributes have been introduced
for <input> tag.

Persistent Local Storage To achieve without resorting to third-party plugins.

WebSocket A a next-generation bidirectional communication technology for web


applications.

Server-Sent Events HTML5 introduces events which flow from web server to the web
browsers and they are called Server-Sent Events SSE.

Canvas This supports a two-dimensional drawing surface that you can program with
JavaScript.

Audio & Video You can embed audio or video on your web pages without resorting to
third-party plugins.

Geolocation Now visitors can choose to share their physical location with your web
application.

Microdata This lets you create your own vocabularies beyond HTML5 and extend your
web pages with custom semantics.

Drag and drop Drag and drop the items from one location to another location on a the
same webpage.

Backward Compatibility
HTML5 is designed, as much as possible, to be backward compatible with existing web browsers.
New features build on existing features and allow you to provide fallback content for older
browsers.

It is suggested to detect support for individual HTML5 features using a few lines of JavaScript.

If you are not familiar with any previous version of HTML, I would recommend to go through our
HTML Tutorial before you explore further concepts of HTM5.
