This specification was published by the Touch Events Community Group. It is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track.
Please note that under the W3C Community Final Specification Agreement (FSA) other conditions apply.
This version of the specification includes fixes and improvements to Touch Events Level 1, and incorporates the features previously published as Touch Event Extensions.
-There is currently no intention to carry on further work on Touch Events. This document has been maintained to reflect additions and changes made in user agents since the release of the original Touch Events Level 1 specification. The Community Group considers Touch Events a legacy API – authors are strongly encourage to adopt Pointer Events instead.

The Touch Events specification defines a set of low-level events that represent one or more points of contact with a touch-sensitive surface, and changes of those points with respect to the surface and any DOM elements displayed upon it (e.g. for touch screens) or associated with it (e.g. for drawing tablets without displays). It also addresses pen-tablet devices, such as drawing tablets, with consideration toward stylus capabilities.
