HTML5, The language itself is an updated HTML with new elements and features. There are a great set of other technologies with which this new version of HTML works — like a new video format — and enables you to build more complex and powerful websites and applications. HTML5 was designed to reduce the need for those non-standard proprietary technologies. With this new version of HTML, you can build web applications that work offline, support high-definition video and animations, and know where you are in a geographic location.
Remember, HTML is not a programming language, but a markup language.
6 Important Benefits of HTML5 to Choose for Your Project:
- Cleaner Code Structure
- Cross-Browser Compatibility
- Audio and Video Tags
- Offline Browsing
- No More Cookies
- Canvas for Animation and Game Development
Let’s look at it in brief,
6. Canvas for Animation and Game Development
Flash, a software used for dynamic websites and applications, has become deprecated due to its limited functionalities and setbacks. Being an external software embedded in the HTML code, Flash cannot interact directly with the HTML elements and requires the browser to install a dedicated plugin to function.
To reduce the hassle and bring the animation to another level, HTML5 came up with a new tag called <canvas>. Canvas, a feature embedded in HTML5 and a part of Document Object Model(DOM), opens multiple animation options, enabling you to draw graphs, add visual effects, develop games both online as well as offline, etc. on the web page.
5. No More Cookies
Cookies, a secret weapon of the website to track its users and deliver personalized services to them, have been an important thing for the websites throughout. But its setback cannot be denied, making your data risk-prone and increasing the server load as well. HTML5 Web Storage, by replacing the cookies, has addressed all these problems. It provides 5 MB storage space at the client-side to store the data, which is not sent over the server making it more secure than the previous versions and hence, reducing the server overhead.
4. Offline Browsing
The availability of the internet cannot be promised 24*7, which can sometimes hinder your work as well. HTML5, with its manifest attribute included in the <html> tag, enables the users to continue browsing the webpages and web applications even in an offline state.
The manifest attribute directs the Uniform Resource Identifier to a ‘manifest’ consisting of the files that should and shouldn’t be cached, to avail them to the user when offline. The structure of the manifest consists of 2 sections:
CACHE MANIFEST: includes the files that have to be cached like index.html, CSS file, logo and background images, etc.
NETWORK: includes the files that shouldn’t be cached and misused such as server.cgi.
3. Audio and Video Tags
Playing media files on a browser was a bit complex task with the previous versions of HTML, requiring you to install supporting multimedia software such as Flash and use some complex tags like <embed> and <object>, to play it.
HTML5 liberates you from this with its <audio> and <video> tags, which are used just like the other HTML tags. You can use these tags and modify their attributes such as controls, loop, autoplay, muted, src, height, width, etc, accordingly.
For Example:
<audio controls> <source src=” ” type=” “> </audio>
