HTML 5 is the latest standard for webpage markup language. The previous version was HTML 4.01. HTML 5 really packs up large and exciting improvements than the previous standards. The following are the new features that it provides:
- This is one of the two most exciting feature: support for video playback. Previous versions needed a plug-in like flash player to play videos in websites such as youtube and others. HTML 5 doesn't need these plug-ins, it can directly play videos. This feature becomes a plus in cases of smart phones that don't support flash.
- The next and the second most exciting feature is the ability to render 2-D and 3-D graphics on your browser: This feature called canvas and it allows users to interact with graphical elements. This can also lead to better graphics in games.
- It supports Drag and Drop feature that can be used for better data input with a enhanced visual style.
- Another great feature is improved offline storage.
- HTML 5 also supports geotagging, which can be used with GPS devices, such as mobile phones.
- Improved protocols.
