Are image maps deprecated?

Question

Are image maps deprecated in (x)HTML?

Answer 1

Image maps are still part of HTML 5.0, of HTML 5.1 and of HTML 5.2. The map element was not listed in HTML 5.1's list of deprecated elements and is not listed in HTML 5.2's list of obsolete features.

(HTML 5.0 became an official W3C Recommendation in October 2014; HTML 5.1 became an official W3C Recmmendation on 1 November 2016.)
