  - Some of the new and most interesting API's for HTML5 are:
  
  1. HTML Geolocation
  - This API helps in getting the geographical position of the user.
  - As this API compromises with the user privacy the position will not be available unless the user approves of it.
  
  2. HTML Drag and Drop
  - It is one of the common features which helps in grabbing an object and drag it into a different position.
  
  3. HTML Local Storage
  - With the help of this API web applications can store data locally within the users browser.
  - It is a replacement for cookies.
  
  4. HTML Application Cache
  - This API helps in making an offline version of a web application by creating a manifest file.
  
  5. HTML Web Workers
  - It is a JavaScript running in the background, without affecting the performance of the page.
  - The page becomes unresponsive until the script is finished while executing scripts in an HTML page.
  - You can continue to do whatever you want: clicking, selecting things, etc., while the web worker runs in the background.
  
  7. HTML SSE
  - It is known as Server Sent events.
  - It helps the web pages to get automatic updates from a server.
  - Example: Facebook,Twitter updates, stock price updates etc.
