What is HTML 5?
HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. Intended to subsume not only HTML 4, but XHTML 1 and DOM2HTML (particularly JavaScript) as well. HTML5 is still under development, completion is in 2022. The Web is getting richer, the platform is getting better, and we’re seeing this from DHTML to HTML to XHTML to HTML5.
The web standards are open, reliable, highly secure, and efficient. They allow web designers and developers to create advanced graphics, typography, animations, and transitions. They are the web. Giving more flexibility and interoperability, and enable more interactive. HTML 5 introduces and enhances a wide range of features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure, and semantics.
The advantage of defining HTML 5 in terms of the DOM is defined independently of the syntax. There are two syntaxes that can be used to represent HTML documents: the HTML serialisation (known as HTML 5) and the XML serialisation (known as XHTML 5). Web masters are crazy about the new technology arrival; HTML 4 has been around for nearly a decade now. No web developer can hold those tears of joy while shifting to HTML 5.

Advantage of HTML 5 Development:
�A major benefit is better Direct HTML Support for Drawing, Animation, Video and Audio

Take advantage of HTML 5 �Yes, You Can Use HTML 5 Today!�. All the major browsers like (IE9, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari). HTML5 rapidly using in mobile browsers and they support. In the near future HTML5 will become a online development language. There is a strong foundation set up by W3C in previous versions (X)HTML, we’re moving to a new age with a wealth of knowledge and the ability out bounding a very powerful markup language.
�When a practice is already widespread among authors, consider adopting it rather than forbidding it or inventing something new.� @ W3C
Web masters particularly like is finding themselves very much focused on semantics, ensure using the best possible element and everything is in the right place. Exited and started to experiment (also with CSS3) this is what coders want and waited for so long time to make it happen.
However, once HTML 5 is accepted and put to use, it will be the dominating standard for the years to come and that is what we need maximum usability for both front end and back end development needs at the same time compatibility. HTML5 will soon become a standard for the FUTURE.
