HTML5

HTML5 is the latest major version of the HyperText Markup Language used to structure web content. It introduces semantic elements, multimedia support, and APIs that enable modern, interactive, and performance-friendly web applications.

What is it?

HTML5 is a standardized markup language specification used to structure and present content on the web. It extends earlier HTML versions with semantic elements, native multimedia, and browser-level APIs.

What does it do?

HTML5 defines the structure of web pages and enables rich features such as video, audio, canvas graphics, form enhancements, and offline capabilities without relying on external plugins.

Where is it used?

HTML5 is used across all modern websites and web applications, including SaaS platforms, mobile web apps, dashboards, landing pages, PWAs, and content-driven systems.

When & why it emerged

HTML5 development began in the mid-2000s and became a W3C recommendation in 2014. It emerged to support modern web application needs, reduce plugin dependency, and standardize advanced browser capabilities.
