HTML5 is like just other html i.e., .html we generally use for our web pages.HTML5 is currently being developed as the next major revision of HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the core markup language of the World Wide Web.
So you might be thinking what the big deal in the html5 and why steve jobs i mean apple is supporting it ???
Because, It aims to reduce the need for proprietary plug-in-based rich internet application (RIA) technologies such as Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight.
Got any idea :) ?
We know that Adobe Flash belongs to Tech Giant Adobe which develops tool for the Internet and its application and it also develops Soft wares for the PC which are mostly likely used by the professionals . Its propriety softwares include Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash......
And the other one is Silverlight which belongs to the long time rival of apple i.e., microsoft.
Ian Hickson of Google, Inc. is the current editor of HTML5.
According to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) timetable, it is estimated that HTML5 will reach W3C Recommendation by late 2010.
In addition to specifying markup, HTML5 specifies scripting application programming interfaces (APIs).Existing document object model (DOM) interfaces are extended and de facto features documented. There are also new APIs, such as:
- The canvas element for immediate mode 2D drawing
- Timed media playback
- Offline storage database (offline web applications)
- Document editing
- Drag-and-drop
- Cross-document messaging (web messaging)
- Browser history management
- MIME type and protocol handler registration.
- Microdata
