Why HTML5?

The choice of a future technology: HTML5

We consider to be the first to introduce the concept of time and thus the concept of sequence within HTML5. With the help of the 3WDOC Player, you can display the contents of a web page be based on a timeline.

Flash is today an unavoidable standard for all sites with strong multimedia since now 10 years Flash provides a very large number of effects that were impossible to achieve in HTML. However, we strongly believe that the vast majority of sites which are now using Flash can swap to HTML5 to display their content. HTML5 is the future of the Web for the main needs of interactivity. It is a serious option that 90-95% of rich media needs can be fulfilled in HTML5.

We believe that the HTML5 standard will profoundly reshape the multimedia contents landscape on the Web. This is why we have decided to integrate the development of our core application with HTML5 but without totally eliminated the Flash technology. Our analysis is based on a number of indicators:

  • HTML5 is based on open technologies and free for use.
  • HTML5 requires no purchase of software license unlike Flash or Silverlight.
  • HTML5 allows content to be much more visible and better referenced by search engines.
  • HTML5 simplifies the production of multimedia content as it is natively integrated into the content of webpage with a large number of new tags and features.
  • HTML5 is promoted by leading members of the W3C including Google, Apple and Microsoft. The Redmond company will release soon a beta version of Internet Explorer 9 with HTML5 as spearhead.
