# Learn web/browser API's The BOM and the DOM are not the only browser API's that are made available on the web platform inside of browsers. Everything that is not specifically the DOM or BOM, but an interface for programming the browser could be considered a web or browser API (tragically in the past some of these API's have been called HTML5 api's which confuses their own specifics/standardize with the actual HTML5 specification specify the HTML5 markup language). Note that web or browser API's do include device API's (e.g. [`Navigator.getBattery()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/getBattery)) that are available through the browser on tablet and phones devices.  image source: [http://www.evolutionoftheweb.com/](http://www.evolutionoftheweb.com/) You should be aware of and learn, where appropriate, web/browser API's.
