HTML has long been standing in the shadows of, pardon the pun, "flashier" web dev framework but that's all changing now. While Flash and IE hold the biggest market shares, critical mobile like Apple and Android are siding with HTML5. See why, in order to stay current in desktop and mobile browsers and apps, developers need HTML5.
HTML5 is being built into browsers, About 74% of the browser market currently provides HTML5 support.
The different version of the Web Browsers supported different percentage of HTML5 Features. Following are the percentage wise statistics of the different browsers which are ready to HTML 5 :
Google Chrome 17 = 94% ready
Mozilla Firefox 10 = 88% ready
Apple Safari 5.1 = 75% ready
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 = 56% ready
While in the Mobile Browsers these statistics are quite change.
Chrome got 369 out of 500.
Opera Mobile 10 got 367 out of 500.
Firefox got 312 out of 500.
Stock Android Browser got 281 out of 500.
Maxthon Android Web Browser 2.6 got 280 out of 500.
Safari (iOS) got 324 out of 500.
According to the report HTML5 will be increase by 2013 as 1B+.
80% of mobile apps may be HTML5 based partially or fully by 2015.
2.1B HTML5 mobile browsers by 2016.
HTML5 is potentially available on all platforms and supporting devices, it just depends on the user's browser:
By 2012 no further mobile browser Flash support for Android 4.1/Jelly Bean, either.
By 2013 1B+ HTML5 compatible phones sold per year, compared to 336 millions in 2011.
Competition among HTML5, Flash, Silverlight, etc.
HTML5:
It's Cheaper.
It's More adoptable, since it's non active.
Being built into browsers.
faster for dev (1 team, 1 code base).
functional on iOS mobile devices.
Open Source.
Usage and Growth
Over 48% of the web devs currently use HTML5.
About 80% of mobile app devs expect to start using HTML5 soon.
That will amount to some 2 million HTML5 devs by 2013.
In May 2011, 800 Million potential users.
In March 2012, 1B+ potential users.
At last the bottom line is that like any language, HTML5 has limitations... but with its ability to control these basic interactive features:
Charting.
3D Vectoring.
Image transforms.
Video.
Audio.
It may become the standard and jQuery is the leading HTML5 framework.
The Future:
W3C and WHATWG have split into two schools
1.) W3C is maintaining work on HTML5 specification.
2.) WHATWG is addressing HTML as a living standard that changes and grows over time, apart from numerical snapshots (HTML4, HTML5.. etc)
In a rapidly changing landscape, HTML will remain a critical element for developer, no matter which side they're on.
