The future of Flash is worrying when the website is eroded by HTML5

Today, Flash is being eroded by HTML5. Bruce Lawson, a supporter of Opera's network standards, believes that HTML and other technologies will replace Flash, and these new technology features, it is very close to the current flash.

The days of Adobe Flash are getting tighter and tighter.

There is a heated debate between network developers about the future of the Network: should they continue to use Adobe Flash or use newer technologies? This debate has lasted for many years. The iPad published by Apple a month ago (just like the iPhone) did not support flash and insisted that html5. A few days ago, Microsoft highlighted its future support plans for HTML5, css3, svg2, and other standards when presenting the latest ie9 Developer Preview. Dean hachamovitch, general manager of Microsoft IE, even said: "We like html5. we hope this technology can be applied ."

This time, Adobe did not make a statement, probably because Microsoft did not directly make a statement similar to "not support flash. However, the industry believes that Adobe's silence will soon be broken, because Microsoft has published a statement saying that Windows Mobile 7 will be listed in September this year, and it clearly indicates that flash is not supported.

As a video support technology, Flash has achieved almost ubiquitous popularity on personal computers. According to Adobe's statistics, its penetration rate has reached more than 98%. This technology is rooted in animated images, but the key to its success is to provide a simple website streaming audio-video mechanism in addition to difficult technologies such as Microsoft, apple, and real. Many new technologies, including the reborn HTML standard, lock the audio and video experience provided by flash.

Today, Flash is being eroded by HTML5. Bruce Lawson, a supporter of Opera Software's network standards, believes that HTML and other technologies will replace Flash, and the features of these new technologies, it is very close to the current flash.

The reason is that in terms of technology, HTML5 is rapidly maturing, and because it supports synchronous evolution with the browser, even if it is still incomplete, it has formed an existence and strength that cannot be ignored.

In contrast, in Adobe Flash, Steve Jobs pointed out at Apple's internal staff meeting that Adobe was too lazy and had the potential to improve product performance, but they refused to do so, as a result, Flash has many bugs and performance is unstable. Most MAC system crashes due to flash errors. Therefore, I am aware that "without Flash Support, iPad users will not be able to enjoy full Internet content, including 70% of games and 75% of online videos. Adobe once said with a low profile that, as long as Apple nodded, they were very happy to provide flash for Apple's products, "Apple refused to use flash. Steve Jobs even said that no one will use flash in the future, and everyone will switch to HTML5.

In addition to the technical reasons, the increasingly obvious openness of the Internet also makes flash increasingly difficult to adapt. Browser manufacturers such as Apple, opera, Mozilla, and Google have reached a consensus on the new direction of HTML standards after years of chaos. The most notable HTML5 standard is built-in sound and audio and video support. They promote other new standards under the banner of "Open Network", while Adobe Flash, in addition to conflicts with "Open Network" in principle, has a major drawback: Being a machine.

Although it is still too early to determine that flash will die, many voices in the industry have said: Adobe's best way to save flash (Development and writing environments) is to give up Flash (plug-ins ), the HTML5 Runtime is directly targeted. The analysis shows that, as a developer, the sealing of Flash plug-ins is troublesome and bugs are troublesome. People Develop Flash because they need to build rich graphic user interfaces, because JavaScript/html cannot be easily relied on. But HTML5 can replace those functions. webgl and css3 are said to be powerless in rendering flash plug-ins. Adobe can continue to sell its products as much as possible, and designers and illustrations can continue to use their programming environment, but programmers must write an open platform to replace the other one that is too closed. If Adobe sticks to the sinking ship (flash plug-in) until it becomes useless, it is very likely that it will produce an intolerable result: HTML5 will define the next generation of Web applications.
