HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications. Maintained as a Living Standard by WHATWG and developed in close coordination with the W3C, HTML defines the structure and semantics of web content alongside CSS for presentation and JavaScript for behavior. The current specification covers semantic elements, multimedia (audio, video, picture, track), the canvas API, forms with rich input types and validation, web storage, custom elements, the dialog and popover patterns, and a broad set of DOM and document conformance rules. This index covers HTML-related standards, specifications, references, and resources relevant to API designers and web developers building on top of HTTP.

HTML is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include HTML, Living Standard, Markup Language, Semantic Web, and W3C.
