HTML 5 like HTML is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content to the World Wide Web (www). 

HTML 5

Few of the features of HTML 5 are:


  • Introduction of Audio & Video - Audio and Video tags are the two major additions to HTML5. It allows developers to embed a video or audio on their website.


  • Vector Graphics - This is a brand-new feature in the updated version that has significantly altered how websites use Adobe Flash. Through scripting, typically JS, it is possible to draw graphics in a variety of shapes and colors. Scalable vector graphics are simple to generate and manipulate. Animation and interactivity are also supported.


  • Header & Footer - The two elements no longer need to be identified with a <div> tag thanks to these new tags. The footer is put at the bottom of the page, and the header is put at the top. 


  • Figure & Fig caption - HTML5 allows the use of a <figure> element to mark up a photo in a document, and a <figcaption> element to define a caption for the photo.

  • Supported by all browsers,


  • Better device compatibility,


  • Simple to employ and use,


  • Using HTML 5 in conjunction with CSS, JavaScript, etc., it is possible to create stunning websites.
