HTML in web development is definitely not a new concept and it has probably seen more acceptance and conflicts compared to other development mediums. However, HTML5 is currently one of the most promising and successful technologies being used in developing web apps compatible with more than one platform to ensure interoperability and flexibility. With new features added to the HTML5 which allow users to develop more dynamically sound web applications, the software is a clear hit.

However, this promising cross-platform development tool is still in the making and which is probably why developers must know the various Pros and Cons of development with HTML5:

Pros-

Open Standards

The point is exceptionally essential as it delivers what it promises unlike other technologies that couldn’t meet the expectations of a robust cross-platform tool. Open standards allow developers and vendors to mutually work on the technology and improve it for a final product.

Supported by all

HTML5 is such a web technology which is supported by some of the major technology giants in the world such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft etc.

WebGL

This feature is strong enough to change the perception of the web for both apps and games as it sufficiently provides enhanced graphics and improved 2D and 3D experiences.

Cons-

Access to Native Features

Cross-platform tools such as HTML5 may be useful in developing flexible and great applications however, in some exceptional cases cross-platform tools are denied access to the some of the features available solely on Native development platforms.

Low performance on Mobile

Although these tools have shown high success rates among developers and vendors but execution of some concepts have caused problems on cross-platform tools reducing the performance on mobile as these devices have limited processing capabilities.
