Challenges Faced by Application Developers in HTML5 ...

Based on our technical team experience, we will discuss some HTML5 challenges that our Application developer usually faces during scripting. These challenges might be helpful to developers to avoid mistakes during coding and also to confront tricky ... We all are familiar with various browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari. Previously the foremost browser was Internet Explorer. Users are generally facing compatibility issues on some browsers. When developers are developing web applications with HTML5, they need to sort out compatibility issues through code or interactive tricks so that the application will behave similarly on every browser. This becomes a great challenge for the developer. To solve this, the developer can use the mentioned below solutions: **Solutions**: - Use cross-browser-friendly libraries and frameworks such as AngularJS, ReactJS, Bootstrap, Jquery, etc. - Use Separate Style Sheets for different browsers. - Vendor specific functions such as example - Avoid DOCTYPE Error, because markup and CSS won't validate without defining DOCTYPE. - They can perform HTML or CSS code validation using W3C. Through W3C, developers can check XHTML document formatting. This can really solve the technical issue of the code. __For Example,__ Custom CSS can be used instead of SaaS, and media query can be used instead of Bootstrap. Mozilla Firefox (-moz) ... 2 __Delivering Identical Native App Experience__: Applications made up of HTML5 are failed to provide device-specific features such as camera, NFC are not assessable in some browsers. To design application, delivering an optimized experience identical to native app becomes a challenge for designer. **Solution**: - Normal HTML failed to access camera and NFC; Developers can use AngularJS and ReactJS because these frameworks contain their own html tags and also permit to design custom tags. - Reduce the size of images by saving them with proper format - Minify JS and CSS documents - Inline CSS and JavaScript should be avoided - Reduce External HTTP Requests - Compress files - Reduce file sizes with server-side compression - To resolve above issue, Developer can use Code Minification or Obfuscation technique. This involves variable shrinking and making lines of code unintelligible in such a manner that browser can execute it. In code minify, it removes space and short name from the code. 3 __Problem: Application slow performance__? The most common challenge, Developer faces while developing an application with HTML5 which technique should they implement to enhance performance. **Solution**: 4 __Problem: Prevent code exposing__ The next challenge is how to prevent the risk of code being exposed? In HTML5 projects, majority of files get rendered /cached on User's system. Due to this, it became quite easy for any users to access and view entire code of HTML, CSS and JSS files. In this situation, HTML5 file encryption also fails because our browsers cannot run any encrypted HTML content. Then how to prevent code exposing? **Solution**: __Example of code Minify is given below__: **Before Minify** function msg(){ alert("welcome in codingtag"); **After Minify** function msg(){alert("welcome in codingtag")} 5 __Problem: Web Storage Security__ **Solution**: **Conclusion:** Above-mentioned challenges are the most general problems, designer faces while developing any application on HTML5. Before designing any web project, UI developers are recommended to
