HTML 5 introduces audio and video as integral parts of its specifications, while vector graphics like SVG and canvas are integrated. HTML uses browser cache for temporary storage, while HTML5 uses application cache, web SQL database, and web storage. JavaScript can run in the background due to the JS Web Worker API in HTML5. HTML works smoothly with all old browsers, while modern browsers like Firefox, Mozilla, Chrome, Opera, and Safari support HTML5 specifications.

HTML and HTML5 are hypertext markup languages used for web page and application development, with HTML5 introducing multimedia, tags, elements, APIs, audio, and video capabilities.

Here are some other differences between HTML5 and (pre-5) HTML:

HTML5 offers several advantages over HTML, including the ability to run JavaScript, support inline mathML and SVG in text, dynamic features like shapes like circles, rectangles, and triangles, compatibility with all old and new browsers, improved error handling, and mobile support, which introduced HTML standards for web applications on any device.
