With the latest controversial statement of Steve Jobs about Adobe turned up the heat of the debate about the future web. HTML 5 is the latest rival of Flash but still Flash has high number of market shares relative to the latest HTML 5 but recently Youtube, the biggest site for video sharing, has also introduced a new HTML 5 type of a video player instead of Flash player it is still on beta so, we don't know much about it's good and bad.
What is HTML 5?
HTML 5 is the latest version of HTML and its main objective is to reduce the use of proprietary RIA(Rich Internet Application) plugins. with the new API HTML 5 provides the support for audio and video embedding which it lacks for years. it has introduced new elements as well as functionalities like drag and drop. so, people believe it will revolutionized the future web, with Open web.
On the other hand Flash which has established for years is the main counterpart of HTML 5 up to now majority of RIA needs Flash player to run.
Anyway, HTML 5 will be a great alternative for Flash and it will help to reduce security risks which we faced with Flash like clickjacking(though Adobe has corrected this issue there are some security risks still to be solved) let's hope for a better and open web..
Kesh,
