With the rise in mobile device usage and mobile technologies, it has become a herculean task for developers to focus on one particular platform such as Android, iPhone or Windows.
As these applications are run from the Web rather than stored locally, the user is not required to download updates to view or use the app. HTML5 makes it effortless to create a fully featured Web application that can be updated remotely with new functionality. The earlier versions couldn’t support the complex functionalities required for developing mobile applications. An HTML5 mobile app is a Web application developed with that version of the Web content standard and designed for smartphones, tablets and other handheld devices. HTML5 is not only used in mobile websites but also in mobile apps on mobile OSs (Ubuntu Touch, Firefox OS, Tizen, etc). In May 2010, Google announced the creation of its Chrome Web Store, a marketplace for Web applications that are built with standard Web technologies (HTML5, CSS and JavaScript), and can be accessed and used by anyone using a Web browser that supports these technologies. Besides, these apps can be easily deployed using open source JavaScript tools. It also gives flexibility to the developer in developing a UX, using scripts and much more. These tools can be used to create applications which use native features such as GPS, camera, locations, contacts, etc. HTML5 is the main domain for most of the cross-platform application development tools such as Apache Cordova, Rhodes and many others. Many organisations, faced with deploying mobile apps across multiple platforms, are turning to HTML5 mobile application development to streamline the implementation of apps, and reduce costs and complexity. It also reduces the functionality gap between mobile sites and applications.
HTML5 is one such powerful and feature-rich tool to develop Web as well as mobile applications. Meanwhile, there have been innovations in the new methodologies that will take over the present market. The question that always arises is whether a business requires both a website and a mobile application. HTML5 technology fits admirably into the scheme of things for creating such apps.Īndroid and iOS have been dominating the mobile app-making business, while other native app-building operating systems such as Windows and BlackBerry are trying hard to catch up. This has led to a need for better apps that are platform and device independent. An increasing number of people are seeing the Web on a mobile screen.
