What exactly is HTML5? In a word

Some people say that H5 is the abbreviation of HTML5, which is a new technology.

Some people say that H5 is a webpage embedded in WeChat.

Some people say that H5 is a super mobile PPT and APP.

H5 does not equal HTML5

HTML is originally an abbreviation. Naturally, the fifth standard HTML can only be abbreviated as HTML5. HTML is a technical web framework standard, and H5 is more similar to a product.

So when we're talking about H5, it's actually a solution, a solution for a cool looking mobile onepage website. And this solution not only includes HTML5's new audio tag, canvas, drag-and-drop feature, local storage, websocket communication, but also box model, including absolute positioning, including all the basic knowledge of front-end.

H5 is also not a WeChat page

This article is best understood. H5 content can be opened in mobile scenarios or browsers other than WeChat, but when we make H5 pages, the dissemination environment is mostly based on WeChat. Everyone mistakenly thinks that H5 is a WeChat page, but it is not. WeChat also integrates the function of mobile browsers. When you open H5, you can check more information and find that H5 is actually an off-site link, not WeChat.

Is H5 a mobile PPT or app?

H5 can indeed realize the function of mobile slideshow, but it is not only mobile slideshow, it can achieve far more things than mobile slideshow! Of course, mobile APPs can be implemented with H5 today, but APPs also There is a native development model, that is, Native Apps (native programs), H5 and Web Apps are more closely related, they are mutually inclusive, and the "mini program" launched by WeChat in 2016 is a tool that completely relies on H5 to improve existing The solution to many problems of APP, the "mini app" under "mini program" is an H5 version of the mobile APP, but even so, the APP and H5 cannot be equal. And the term "H5APP" seen on the Internet is even more puzzling. "H5 APP" does not mean web APP.

So what exactly is H5?

When we can't unify the connotation of a concept, we have no idea what each other is talking about. "H5" was supposed to be a collection of technologies, but it was meant to be a technology, a concept that could be described qualitatively rather than quantitatively.
