Frontend development is the craft of creating good-looking, accessible, and readable websites.
And on top of that it's the art of architecturing complex apps with hundreds of components, complex state, and advanced data querying and caching.
But also, it's how you display 3D graphics, read and write to the filesystem, handle security issues, and improve performance.
With the web platform's ever-growing list of responsibilities, it makes more sense than ever to have a survey dedicated to HTML and all other web platform APIs, now in its third consecutive year.
And to help us find our way through the fog, none other than web superstar Lea Verou is back at the helm, having helped curate this year's questions.
And as with previous years, your answers will have a direct impact on the roadmaps of browser vendors. So grab your beverage of choice, and get ready to fill out this year's State of HTML survey!
