HTML5 is the newer version of the basic HTML that includes various other properties such as placeholder, video and audio modifications, canvas, 2d and 3d images, date select function and also an added local SQL database. This also enables the webpage to reduce the use of external plugins such as Flash players or any other libraries.

HTML is the Hypertext Markup Language, which is the widely-used programming language for web application or website development. HTML5 is the latest version of HTML programming that allows better management of the web application or the website contents. While HTML doesn’t allows support for Video and Audio data in the programming language, HTML5 allows any kind of data to be incorporated in the program. In terms of browser compatibility, applications developed with HTML can be accessed in all the major browsers, and HTML5 is supported only in a few browsers as it doesn’t contain all the tags and elements from the traditional HTML code.

This language is used to annotate (at the note for computer) text so that a machine can understand it and manipulate text accordingly. Most of the markup (e.g. HTML) languages are human readable. The language uses tags to define what manipulation has to be done on the text. It is used for structuring and presenting the content on the web pages. HTML5 is the fifth version of HTML. Many elements are removed or modified from HTML5.
