HTML5 Demos and Examples is a classic collection of HTML5 experiments and demonstration files created to show the capabilities of modern web APIs and browser technologies during the rise of HTML5. The repository is an archive of interactive examples—ranging from canvas tricks to video, audio, drag-and-drop, WebSockets, and more—that illustrate how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can combine to build rich, browser-centric experiences without plugins. Each demo is a self-contained piece of code you can open, explore, and learn from, and the collection was curated to help developers grasp emerging standards at a time when HTML5 was gaining traction and not yet ubiquitous. Though no longer actively maintained, the archive still contains hundreds of creative examples that can teach fundamentals and spur experimentation with web features. Developers historically used it as a reference when testing browser support for features or teaching newcomers how specific APIs behave in real code.
