ARIA/ AH-ree-uh /
ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a W3C specification of HTML attributes — roles, states, and properties — that supplement native HTML semantics to communicate the structure and behaviour of custom interactive widgets to assistive technologies such as screen readers.
About ARIA
Defined in WAI-ARIA 1.2. Use ARIA only when native HTML is insufficient — "the first rule of ARIA is do not use ARIA". Misused ARIA is worse than no ARIA.
