5 HTML5 Javascript APIs to keep an eye on
Here is a great article that details what is making HTML5 so damn sexy.
This article defines five HTML5 Javascript API’s that open up a web browsers mobile capabilities.
Overall these functions speak directly to HTML5 mobile game development and give developers more tools to make a gaming environment that is OS-agnostic .
These API’s focus on providing relevant handset data to the browser to create a more immersive engagement and give developers more data points to play with.
- Battery Status
- Gamepad
- Device Orientation
- Geolocation
- Page visibility
As the mobile web continues to grow we will see more and more API’s looking to make a browser be more than a just browser.
If anyone has a chance to implement these API’s I would love to hear any feedback on performance, cheers!
