HTML5 introduces significant advancements over HTML, including support for SVG and canvas for vector graphics, web SQL databases for data storage, and improved JavaScript functionality through the JS web worker API. It also enhances compatibility with better parsing rules, allows inline MathML and SVG, and introduces new form controls and elements. Deprecated elements from HTML have been removed in HTML5, reflecting its evolution and modernization.

HTML Vs HTML5

 SVG, canvas and other virtual vector graphics are supported in


HTML5, whereas in HTML, using vector graphics was only
possible by using it in conjunction with different technologies
like Flash, VML, and Silver-light, etc.

 HTML5 uses web SQL databases, application cache for


temporary storing data, meanwhile, in HTML, only browser
cache could be utilized for this purpose

 Another difference between HTML and HTML5 worth mentioning


is that the former doesn’t allow JavaScript to run within the web
browser (it instead runs in the browser interface thread)
whereas the latter provides full support for JavaScript to run in
the background (This is possible courtesy to the JS web worker
API of HTML5).

 HTML5 is not based on SGML, and that allows it to have


improved parsing rules which provide enhanced compatibility.

 In HTML5, inline MathML and SVG can be used in text whereas


this wasn’t possible in HTML.

 Some of the deprecated elements that have now been dropped
completely are: isindex, noframes, acronym, applet, basefont,
dir, font, frame, frameset, big, center, strike, tt.

 HTML5 supports new kinds of form controls, for example: dates
and times, email, number, range, tel, url, search etc.

 There are many new elements introduced in HTML. Some of the
most important ones are: summary, time, aside, audio,
command, data, datalist, details, embed, wbr, figcaption, figure,
footer, header, article, hgroup, bdi, canvas, keygen, mark,
meter, nav, output, progress, rp, rt, ruby, section, source, track,
video.
