Google created the project called Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)
, a response to Facebook Instant Articles, Apple News, and Twitter Moments - all of the tech giants wanting to grab another piece of the web that once came under the domain of major publications.
Google’s goal with the project is to ensure that web pages load almost instantly when the user clicks on a link, creating an experience as fast and responsive as native mobile apps.
AMP HTML is basically the enlarged HTML with custom AMP properties. The simplest AMP HTML file looks like this:
<!doctype html>
<html ⚡>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="canonical" href="hello-world.html">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,minimum-scale=1,initial-scale=1">
<style amp-boilerplate>body{-webkit-animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both;-moz-animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both;-ms-animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both;animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both}@-webkit-keyframes -amp-start{from{visibility:hidden}to{visibility:visible}}@-moz-keyframes -amp-start{from{visibility:hidden}to{visibility:visible}}@-ms-keyframes -amp-start{from{visibility:hidden}to{visibility:visible}}@-o-keyframes -amp-start{from{visibility:hidden}to{visibility:visible}}@keyframes -amp-start{from{visibility:hidden}to{visibility:visible}}</style><noscript><style amp-boilerplate>body{-webkit-animation:none;-moz-animation:none;-ms-animation:none;animation:none}</style></noscript>

<body>Hello World!</body>
