ARIA in HTML to Code Generator Version 1.0 Beta

This utility parses the ARIA in HTML specification and generates a Javascript Object representing the information in HTML Tage Name table in the specification. The object created is available as a JSON object or as a Javascript include file. Note the generator code has some exception clauses due to the complexity of some of the table rows in the specification. The exceptions need to be verified for any updates to the speficiation.

Creating the JSON and JS files

These steps assume you have both git and node.js installed on your computer.

Step 1: Checkout the Repository from Github

git clone [email protected]:opena11y/aria-in-html-to-code.git

Step 2: Setup the node environment

npm install

Step 3: Generating the JSON and JS files

node run build

The following two files are created in the releases directory:

• gen-aria-in-html-info.json
• gen-aria-in-html-info.js

Organization of the Javascript Object

The primary property in the Javascript Object is the elementInfo object. The elementInfo object uses the tag name as the key representing each row in the ARIA in HTML Specfication. The following table describes the possible properties of each key.

Property	Description
