HTML 5-The Facilitator of Mobile Web Applications

Hicksville, NY -- (SBWire) -- 02/02/2012 --Mobile technology is constantly evolving. From the day iPhone made its debut in the stores, there has been a paradigm shift in the internet usage patterns. The swelling numbers of Smartphone users are displacing the internet usage from their desks to their pockets. And as this happen, HTML 5 is steadily becoming the universal language for coding the web and web apps, giving mobile users richer applications and usability than before.

HTML5 is the most advanced version of the markup language that comes with various advantages that are required for web application development and are used by mobile users basically. Some notable advantages of HTML5 are-

- Offline support- HTML5 supports offline browsing of data with the help of an offline cache. Developers, while building the site can specify the files that the browser should cache which helps in offline support of data along with faster web page loading.

- No Plug-ins- HTML5 will allow developers to keep space on a web page where they wish to put interactive content such as videos games etc. This will eliminate the need to install flash, silverlight and other plug-ins.

- Descriptive semantics- It is now easy to identify the parts of a page and understand the meaning of the specific part within a short period of time.

- Richer media elements- HTML 5 comes with special tags such as that can play multimedia content online without any plug-in and are fully programmable with JavaScript.

- Improved code- There will be lesser tags with HTML 5 which means cleaner coding.

- Geolocation support- is also supported in HTML 5. The JavaScript on the page can read your latitude and longitude and send it to the server to perform various functions.

“HTML5 and its geolocation API is such a wonderful tool and such a fancy, that every mobile user would definitely appreciate an app that is made using this tool. It is an exciting technology to work with as it is supported across major mobile app development frameworks” says Tauseef, research associate from marketing department at Openxcell Technolabs. He adds “due to increase in mobile users accessing the web, the features that HTML5 provide are becoming necessary and I am very happy that the users are getting a better experience”.

The mobile revolution initiated by Apple is not settling down soon. The users of Smartphones will continue to increase demanding better user experience with apps and developers on the other side will find tools that take lesser time to give shape to a web app. While we carefully look into this pattern, one can easily predict that HTML5 will have a major role fulfilling this demand in the coming times.
