What are ARIA roles and why are they important?

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles make web content more accessible

for users relying on assistive technologies (like screen readers).

Example:

<button role="switch" aria-checked="false">Dark Mode</button>

• role="switch" defines what the element represents.

Follow me on LinkedIn:

• aria-checked communicates the state to assistive devices.

Key Takeaway:

RIA makes dynamic interfaces accessible by adding semantic meaning beyond native

HTML.
