HTML5 is the latest version of the web page markup language HyperText Markup Language. It was invented by Tim Berners Lee at CERN, the European nuclear particle research facility in Switzerland, as a means for scientists to easily communicate with each other, as part of a publishing facility built on top of the Internet, which became the web.

HTML5 introduces semantic markup, enhancements to the Document Object Model (DOM) interface, standardizes some forms of media support. It also expands the capabilites of browsers to locally store information, particularly useful for Restful web applications.
