Here’s an overview
of the HTML5 advantages;
1. Elegant
Forms
HMTL5
allows creation of carefully crafted forms for easier accessibility, allowing
better form fields such as better text inputs and search boxes. The data validations
are smooth and avoid the need for JavaScript except for the browsers which do
not support such forms. There are different types of text inputs, search and
different fields for different purpose.
2.
Offline Browsing
Websites can be easily viewed in an offline mode even when the
user is not connected to his network. The offline application cache in HTML5
gives a better solution even if the browsers do not work correctly. The
programmer codes the website in such a way that it defines the files that
should be cached by the browser. It gives an opportunity to refresh the page
offline and load it correctly. It helps to reduce the load on the server and
quicker access to files offline as well.
3.
User Friendly
HTML5 eliminates the use of plugins or any third party coding
to embed audio and video, quality charts, drawing since this usability is built
into the browsers. It makes life much easier for a programmer when it comes to
efforts put for collaborating animations, streaming video, playing music and
social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter etc. Earlier, web
designing services included tools built on Flash, Silverlight or Flex.
4. Mobile Friendly
Creating
a Responsive Design is the need of the hour! The increasing use of mobile
devices to access the websites has made it mandatory to improve the web
designing services on Mobile devices. Mobile browsers have adopted HTML5 from
the time Adobe announced the death of mobile flash. Programmers had to switch
to HMTL5 to make it a responsive website and to develop a mobile web
application development.
HTML5
is the most mobile ready tool for developing mobile sites and apps. Below are
some meta tags that allow you to optimize for mobile:
- Viewport: Allows you to
define viewport widths and zoom settings
- Full screen browsing: IOS
specific values that allow Apple devices to display in full screen mode
- Home Screen Icons: Like favicons on desktop, these icons are used to add favorites to the home screen of an IOS and Android mobile device
Sharing your location is just at your fingertips with
Geolocation, from friends to relatives to your loved ones is as now made easy
with HTML5. There are many ways to figure out your location by means of your IP
address, your wireless network connection, which cell tower your phone is
talking to, or dedicated GPS hardware that calculates latitude and longitude
from information sent by satellites in the sky. The newly updated HTML5 geolocation
APIs make location directly available to any HTML5-compatible browser-based
application.
We see HTML5 as the next big thing and become the most used
online development language in the near future. It’ll make the website
designers life simpler resulting in better designs. Catch up with it soon!!
