W3C CEO visits China and discusses HTML5 development in Asia Pacific

Today, Dr. Jeff Jaffe, CEO of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and Angela Li, head of W3C China, visited Egret Engine. Dr. Jaffe discussed with Egret Engine CEO Chen Shuyi and co-founder Ma Jian about possible cooperation in HTML5 development tools. Dr. Jaffe affirmed Egret's contribution to the promotion and development of HTML5 technology, and also introduced the HTML5.0 version released by W3C at the end of October 2014, which has provided a stable standard version for the industry.

Currently, W3C is continuing to develop the next generation of HTML standards, but at the same time, it is also building a more powerful Web ecosystem based on the stable HTML version. The first important move of W3C after the release of HTML5.0 was to release the application foundation strategic plan. This application foundation strategic plan focuses more on providing developers with a better development foundation to promote the birth of more and better WebApps, and prosper and expand the Web ecosystem.

As an excellent HTML development tool provider, Egret has a natural advantage in cooperating with W3C in promoting the popularization and application of HTML5 technology. W3C hopes that both parties can cooperate deeply from the perspective of standard development and tools, jointly promote the development of HTML5 standard technology, and work hard for the prosperity of related Web industries. Of course, for Egret, which will launch its globalization strategy this year, cooperation with W3C is the first step.

At the same time, the current status of HTML5 games in the domestic mobile market was quickly introduced, including the portal layout of major platforms and the fragmentation of Android browsers. In order to solve this problem, Egret mainly introduced the product features of Egret Runtime, the degree of support for HTML5 standardization technology, and the implantation status and cooperation prospects of domestic large-scale platform apps.

Egret will be committed to promoting the development of Open Web technology in the entertainment and gaming fields, closely cooperating with W3C, supporting the W3C Application Foundations program, promoting the performance and tuning of standardized technologies in the entertainment and gaming fields, and implementing more industries of standardized graphics and image technologies. Egret plans to join W3C in 2015 as a new W3C member, and work closely with other W3C members around the world to jointly promote the next change in standardized technologies after the finalization of HTML5.
