HTML5 introduced several new features and enhancements over its


predecessors. Here are some of the basics of HTML5:
DOCTYPE Declaration: HTML5 introduced a simplified, shorter
doctype declaration:htmlCopy code<!DOCTYPE html>
emantic Elements: HTML5 introduced several new semantic
elements that provide better structure and meaning to web pages,
such as <header>, <footer>, <nav>, <section>, <article>, <aside>,
<main>, <figure>, and <figcaption>. These elements make it easier
for search engines and screen readers to understand the content of a
webpage.
Audio and Video Support: HTML5 introduced native support for
embedding audio and video content using the <audio> and <video>
elements, respectively. This eliminates the need for third-party plugins
like Flash for multimedia playback.
Canvas: HTML5 introduced the <canvas> element, which provides a
drawing surface for creating dynamic graphics and animations using
JavaScript. It allows developers to draw shapes, lines, text, images, and
more directly within the browser.
Geolocation: HTML5 introduced the Geolocation API, which allows
web applications to access a user's geographical location. This enables
location-aware services and applications to provide customized
experiences based on the user's location.
LocalStorage and SessionStorage: HTML5 introduced the
localStorage and sessionStorage APIs, which allow web applications to
store data locally in the user's browser. This enables persistent storage
of data across sessions without relying on server-side storage.
Form Enhancements: HTML5 introduced several enhancements to
web forms, including new input types (<input type="email">, <input
type="url">, <input type="number">, etc.), validation attributes
(required, pattern, min, max, etc.), and the <datalist> element for
providing autocomplete suggestions.
Responsive Images: HTML5 introduced the <picture> and <source>
elements, along with the srcset and sizes attributes, which enable
developers to provide multiple image sources and specify different
image sizes for various device resolutions and screen sizes.
Web Workers: HTML5 introduced the Web Workers API, which allows
web applications to run scripts in background threads, separate from
the main execution thread. This enables concurrent processing and
improves performance for tasks like heavy computations or long-
running operations.
Web Storage: HTML5 introduced the Web Storage API, which provides
a way for web applications to store key-value pairs locally in the user's
browser. It offers a simpler alternative to cookies for storing small
amounts of data persistently across sessions.
