HTML5 vs. Flash is a comparison of the two multimedia technologies. HTML5 is a collection of individual features like CSS3, JavaScript Canvas, video, and geolocation that work across browsers without plugins. While Flash requires a plugin, HTML5 works everywhere due to growing browser support. Both technologies can be used together, with HTML5 better for lighter content and Flash better for complex interactive content.
