HTML5 API’s

HTML5 API’s are as below

  • HTML Geo location – used for locating user’s position
  • HTML Drag and Drop- helps to “grab” an object and drag it to different location.
  • HTML Local Storage – this feature is better than cookies where web applications will be able to store data locally within the user’s browser; 
  • HTML Application Cache – intended to make an offline version of a web application, by creating a cache manifest file. it helps to reduce server load – the browser shall only need to download /update the changed resources from the server.
  • HTML Web Workers – is a JavaScript running in the background, this is will not  affect the performance of the page.

HTML SSE (Server-Sent Events ) is meant to allow a web page to get updates from a server.
