For a long time iPhone app developers have
been looking for a way to decrease the time and cost for developing apps. The
solution finally arrives with HTML5. W3C has introduced many new features with
HTML5. This new application allows iPhone users to browse and search for videos,
access details of their accounts and stream playbacks without the assistance of
Flash plugin.
When compared to Flash, HTML5 is efficient
and flexible. Steve Jobs himself once acknowledged that Flash plugin in iPhone
is slow and buggy and he attributed this to "lazy" developers at
Adobe. So, many of the iPhone app developers now go for HTML5 instead of Flash.
It is easy to build and debug with HTML5.
It doesn't ask for lot of specialized coding. The developers call this as
"lines reduced, creativity increased". The developers can also engage
the same code base on all HTML5 enabled phones.
The option Canvas and Video makes it easy
for developers to add video and images. It also makes it cross browser
compatible.
There are some features come attached with
HTML5 which allow the users to store more information offline. This will allow
useful applications to continue running even without Internet. By storing
cookie and cache files, HTML5 allows developers to work without Internet
connection. This is considered as a huge advantage for developers of mobile
application.
Advantage forms enable mobile browsers to
handle basic things to ensure that the information they entering in an online
form is correct. Now they don't have to run additional scripts for it. This will
speed up loading time and enhance user experience.
The key advantage of HTML5 is that it works
on all platforms like Android, Blackberry, Symbian etc., It breaks the barrier
for the developers. It moves in a way to open the closed garden of mobile
games. The user too can gain advantage from HTML5. They will no longer be
forced to download the game. They can play instant games on their browsers,
without any installation irritations.
The quality of the game will be the same,
irrespective of the platform people use. One can play games without installing
any plug-ins. Thus HTML5 minimize the difference between an application and a
web app.
It also enables developers to use cleaner
code. Locations generated via GPS or other methods will directly available to
any HTML5 compatible browser. The new HTML5 geolocation APIs make this
possible.
HTML5 allows developers to customize their
page as they like. They can easily 'drag and drop' things they want to add. It
is simply like adding attachment, while composing mail in Gmail. So there is no
doubt, even at an earlier stage HTML5 manages to attract developers.
