HTML5
fifth and current version of the hypertext markup language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web
HTML5 is the fifth revision of the HTML standard. HTML5 is no longer a standard but has been replaced by a new standard called the HTML Living Standard. This new standard is managed by a group called the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), which comprises all the major web browser vendors: Apple, Google, Mozilla, and Microsoft. HTML5 was first made public on January 22, 2008, and got a major update in October 2014.[1] The main goals of HTML5 were to - be easy to read for both people and computer and work well with older software.[2] HTML5 also includes new tools for creating complex web applications and is good for making mobile apps because it works well on devices with low power.[3][4]

HTML4 became a W3C Recommendation in 1997. While it continues to serve as a rough guide to many of the core features of HTML, it does not provide enough information to build implementations that interoperate with each other and, more importantly, with Web content. The same goes for XHTML1, which defines an XML serialization for HTML4, and DOM Level 2 HTML, which defines JavaScript APIs for both HTML and XHTML. HTML replaces these documents.
