What is an HTML5?

HTML5 is the latest version of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the standard language used to create and structure content on the web. It introduces new elements, attributes, and features that improve website functionality, multimedia handling, and responsiveness without relying on plugins like Flash.

HTML5 enhances user experience by supporting audio, video, graphics (via <canvas>), geolocation, and local storage directly within the browser. Its improved semantics, accessibility, and mobile-friendly capabilities make it essential for building modern, fast, and user-friendly websites and web applications.
