The Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML) is a markup languagecite-ref-w3c-page-2-3[2] intended for display on handheld computers, information appliances, smartphones, etc.. It is similar to HTML,cite-ref-3[3] but for wireless and handheld devices with small displays, like PDA, mobile phones and so on.

It was originally developed in about 1996 by Unwired Planet,cite-ref-mag-cite-1-1[1] the company that became Phone.com and then Openwave.cite-ref-4[4] HDML was submitted to W3C for standardization,cite-ref-5[5] but was not turned into a standard. Instead it became an important influence on the development and standardization of WML, which then replaced HDML in practice. Unlike WML, HDML has no support for scripts.cite-ref-6[6]
