What is HTML5

HTML5 stands for Hyper Text Markup Language version 5. It is the latest version of HTML, and it is basically used for presenting content for the World Wide Web.

Web Workers

Many web applications use heavy scripts to perform functions, so web workers basically use separate background threads and the performance of the web page is not effected by this.

Canvas

This feature enables the developer to render graphics on the fly.

Application Caches

Using this feature a web page will start storing more and more information locally on the visitor's computer.
