What is the <!DOCTYPE> ? Is it necessary to use in HTML5 ?
Answers :
2
The <!DOCTYPE> is an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML the page is written in. AND The
<!DOCTYPE> tag does not have an end tag and It is not case sensitive.
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration must be the very first thing in HTML5 document, before the <html> tag. As In HTML 4.01,
all <! DOCTYPE > declarations require a reference to a Document Type Definition (DTD), because HTML 4.01 was based
on Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). WHERE AS HTML5 is not based on SGML, and therefore does not
require a reference to a Document Type Definition (DTD).

What is the use of localStorage in HTML5 ?
Answers :
8
Before HTML5 LocalStores was done with cookies. Cookies are not very good for large amounts of data, because they are
passed on by every request to the server, so it was very slow and in-effective.
In HTML5, the data is NOT passed on by every server request, but used ONLY when asked for. It is possible to store
large amounts of data without affecting the website's performance.and The data is stored in different areas for different
websites, and a website can only access data stored by itself.
And for creating localstores just need to call localStorage object like below we are storing name and address
<script type="text/javascript">
localStorage.name="PCDS";
document.write(localStorage.name);
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
localStorage.address="Mumbai India..";
document.write(localStorage.address);
</script>
