What is HTML <object> data Attribute

HTML is designed with extensibility in mind for data that should be associated with a particular element but need not have any defined meaning. data-* attributes allow us to store extra information on standard, semantic HTML elements without other hacks such as non-standard attributes, or extra properties on DOM.

Definition and Usage

The data attribute specifies the URL of the resource to be used by the object.
