HTML5 is the latest version of HyperText Markup Language used to structure and present content on the web. It introduces new elements, attributes, and APIs for modern web development, making websites more interactive and multimedia-friendly.

  • Multimedia support: <audio> and <video>
  • Form enhancements: new input types like email, date, number, range
  • Canvas element for graphics and animations: <canvas>
  • Offline storage APIs: localStorage and sessionStorage
