Adobe Launches HTML5 Web Animations Tool “Adobe Edge”


It is very interesting to create  a webpage and there are so many software available but now Adobe іѕ launching a nеw tool called Adobe Edge whісh wіll allow creative professionals tο design animated Web content using Web standards lіkе HTML5, CSS аnd JavaScript. But nοt Flash.
Edge is a new web development tool from Adobe that makes it easy to create animations and interactive websites with HTML5, the latest revision of HTML. HTML5 tries to add the interaction and multimedia we've come to expect from the web without forcing users to download plug-ins such as Microsoft Silverlight or Adobe Flash.
While there's been a lot of hubbub over how HTML5 will change everything, older web formats such as Flash still rule the web--largely because they're much easier to work with. Although it still has the upper hand with Flash, Adobe wants to ensure that if and when HTML5 becomes the standard, developers will still create it on Adobe software. So Adobe has created Edge as a tool to help developers create complex animations using HTML5.

At the moment, Edge seems to run on an interface similar to Flash. The familiar timeline and other tools are situation in approximately the same places in Edge as they are in the current version of Flash. Behind the scenes, however, Edge is very different. Instead of Adobe's ActionScript format, the animations created in Edge are coded in JSON. So rather than actionscript the animation is coded in html and javascript and runs on all modern desktop browsers and most mobile browsers, such as Safari.
