HTML5 is the fifth and current standard of HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the language used for structuring and describing content on the World Wide Web. First drafted in 2011 by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), HTML5 introduced a range of new element types such as main, article, section, nav, aside, header and footer and also introduced new APIs that made HTML5 more capable for web applications. HTML5 was well received by the web design community and browser vendors and broadly adopted even before it became an official standard in 2014.
