WordPress can be understood as a content management system which was built by Matt Mullenweg in 2003. It is built using the PHP programming language. The development credit for this platform goes to WordPress Foundation. It is a free and open-source platform which was initially released in May 2003 and a stable version was released in 2022. It has a special feature of customizable plugins for building web applications. It uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript for building interactive web applications. It uses MySQL as its database for storing data.

HTML is a short form of  HyperText Markup Language. It is a language which is used in creating web apps and websites. HTML is not known as a programming language, rather it is known for its markup tags which help in creating web applications so it is a markup language. The main purpose of HTML is to create web pages or websites which are static in nature. It can only be used in the front end development means it is not used for back end functionalities like sending or receiving data. Html links are used in connecting one web page to another.
