What is HTML5?

In previous articles have been written about Google that will implement the HTML5 in their Gmail service. However, whether it is actually HTML5? Well, earlier may need to be explained in advance that HTML is an acronym for Hypertext Markup Language, a language within an HTML document that became the foundation of the Internet. These standards define how the settings. Currently used standard HTML is HTML 4.01 standard. But until now HTML 4.01 standard is already 10 years old. In a period of 10 years are certainly a lot of changes that developed in the use of the Internet, so that the HTML 4.01 standard is felt that the time has come to be replaced.

For that and then the four major browser vendors (except Microsoft), together with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has developed a new HTML standard, namely HTML5. The new standard, HTML5, contains a variety of new functions is a new leap, from orientation to orientation-based document-based applications.

HTML5 is a core feature of the integration of multimedia content better. So far, we require a browser plug in like Adobe Flash Player to play movies and music on the browser. Using the plug in like this has several weaknesses, among others, is wasteful of resources, potential crashes, and can be infiltrated by malware. This is certainly less safe for our computer. However due to HTML5, everything would change. By using the new tag “<audio>” and “<video>” allows us to link to media files. A simple integrated player will play these files directly on the website, without requiring a plug in again.

We waited just how the implementations of HTML5 will. Hopefully, in accordance with the desired results, and make us even more impressed with the experience of surfing.
