HTML5 Modern Features Overview

What's New in Modern HTML

Semantic Elements

HTML5 introduced meaningful tags like <header>, <nav>, <section>, <article>, and <footer> that describe the purpose of content rather than just its appearance.

Media Elements

Native support for audio and video with <audio> and <video> tags, eliminating the need for third-party plugins like Flash.

Canvas & SVG

<canvas> for dynamic, scriptable rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images, and <svg> for scalable vector graphics.

Enhanced Forms

New input types (email, url, date, color), attributes (placeholder, required, pattern), and form validation without JavaScript.

Web Storage

localStorage and sessionStorage for client-side data storage, providing better alternatives to cookies for storing larger amounts of data.

Key Benefits of HTML5:

Better Semantics

Improved accessibility and SEO with meaningful tags

Rich Media

Native support for audio, video, and graphics

Mobile Ready

Built-in features for mobile device optimization

Semantic Tags Recap

Building Meaningful Document Structure

Modern Page Structure with Semantic HTML5:

Semantic elements provide meaning to both browsers and developers, improving accessibility and maintainability.

Sidebar - Related content and widgets

Why Semantic HTML Matters:

Accessibility: Screen readers understand structure better

Maintainability: Clear code structure is easier to update
Future-Proof: Standards-compliant code works everywhere
