Canonical formulation of quantum field theory on the Light Front (LF)
is reviewed. The problem of constructing the LF Hamiltonian which gives
the theory equivalent to original Lorentz and gauge invariant one is
considered. We describe possible ways of solving this problem: (a) the
limiting transition from the equal-time Hamiltonian in a fastly moving
Lorentz frame to LF Hamiltonian, (b) the direct comparison of LF
perturbation theory in coupling constant and usual
Lorentz-covariant Feynman perturbation theory. Gauge invariant
regularization of LF Hamiltonian via introducing a
lattice in transverse coordinates and imposing periodic boundary
conditions in LF coordinate $x^-$ for gauge fields on the interval
$|x^-|<L$ is considered. We find that LF canonical
formalism for this regularization avoid usual most
complicated constraints connecting zero and nonzero modes of gauge fields.
