About

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to create web pages and is the de facto standard for documents displayed in web browsers.

It defines the structure of web content using elements for text, links, images, forms, tables, and embedded media, organizes documents into a hierarchical DOM, and enables hyperlinking between pages, which is a fundamental mechanism of the World Wide Web.

HTML5 expanded HTML into a platform for web applications by introducing native audio and video elements, the canvas API for rendering graphics, Web Storage for client-side data persistence, Web Workers for background processing, the Geolocation API for location-based data, and WebSocket for real-time communication.

YAML is a data serialization language designed to be human friendly and work well with modern programming languages for common everyday tasks.
