A JavaScript library from Google Chrome providing accessibility-related testing and utility code. Its core is an accessibility audit engine with rules for common WCAG/ARIA problems, plus utilities like contrast ratio calculation and accessible name computation.
Use cases
- run automated accessibility audits on web pages
- check color contrast ratios and get color suggestions
- validate ARIA attributes and states in HTML
- compute accessible names for DOM elements
- integrate accessibility checks into automated test suites
When to choose
- you need programmatic accessibility rule checks in JavaScript
- you want to embed an a11y audit into browser automation or testing frameworks
- you need ARIA/contrast utility functions
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling with modern WCAG 2.2 rules (project's last release was 2022)
- you want a full-featured linter like axe-core or Lighthouse
- you need non-browser accessibility testing
