Using HTML5 for App Development

• The current and 5th major language of HTML
  standard is HTML5. HTML5 is a tool which can be
  used for cross-platform mobile applications, as
  it has features designed with low-powered devices
  in mind. Since its launch in 2014, HTM is
  getting immense popularity and acceptance
  worldwide. But for those, who are still unaware
  of this new concept, let us inform you in brief
  about HTML5 and its use in application
  development.

What is a HTML5 app?

• HTML5 apps enable write once, run anywhere mobile
  app development. It is a collaboration of web
  pages optimized for streaming video and audio,
  managing graphical data or animation and
  providing offline support.
• Most HTML5 apps integrate CSS. It includes the
  APIs for working with text, objects, and arrays.
  All major browsers support these technologies,
  making it possible to implement Web-based apps
  across a wide range of devices.

What to keep in mind when building HTML5 apps

• The developer will have to pay attention to the
  memory and performance limitations in the case of
  HTML5 mobile application development. The
  developer will have to control the page flow, but
  also the DOM.
• Developers should keep UX in mind. To make sure
  of the quality of UX, HTML5 mobile apps should be
  lightweight so that its performance doesn't lag.
  In addition, admins should test the app on
  various platforms and for different device types,
  screen sizes, browsers and operating systems.
  Most apps also need to support offline operations
  to handle disruptions in connectivity.

HTML5 apps vs. native apps

• Contradictory to HTML5 apps, native apps are
  based on the native language of the platform the
  app runs on. In native apps, each platform
  requires its own app, and some platforms require
  different versions of an app to support different
  devices on that platform. 
• In the case of HTML5, as long as users access the
  app through a browser that supports each
  language's capabilities, the app would perform
  the same across platforms.

• In addition, administrators can deliver bug fixes
  and updates whenever necessary and even perform
  live testing with their users without the
  distribution headaches of native apps. But if not
  carefully designed, HTML5 apps can experience
  lengthy load times.
• Plus, HTML5 enables to write a truly responsive
  app. The responsive app is an intuitive app that
  will automatically resize according to the
  browser and screen size automatically detect and
  change the user interface (UI) to fit in the
  platform on which the app is running.
