HTML5 is the fifth and enhanced prevailing version of the HTML standard. Basically, it was introduced in 2008 and already has astonishingly broad browser support. It was developed primarily to solve the compatibility issues that affect the current standard, HTML4. One of the significant differences between HTML5 and older versions is that it doesn’t require proprietary application programming interfaces (APIs) and plugins.
It features one common interface to make loading elements rapidly and effortlessly. New tags such as the <nav>, <header> and <article> have been introduced in HTML5 which will help search engines examine web pages in an efficient manner. Apart from these, <video>, <audio> and <canvas> tags have also been added in HTML5 to provide support for multimedia on mobile devices.
Most important, the DOCTYPE declaration, as well as character encoding declaration is straightforward in this new major version of HTML.
