Limitation and improvement direction of mobile phone wap

Although mobile wap has been widely used in the past, it also has some limitations. First of all, the amount of data transmitted by wap protocol is small, which can not meet the needs of modern multimedia applications. Secondly, the page design of wap is simple and monotonous, which can't meet the needs of users for more exquisite and colorful mobile application experience. Therefore, in recent years, some new mobile application protocols, such as HTML5, H5 and WebAPP, and other more advanced technologies have emerged, which also indicates that mobile wap has embarked on a retreat.
