ARIA

Abbreviation for Accessible Rich Internet Applications

In short and in plain language

ARIA is an add-on to the code that web pages are written in.

It describes buttons and other parts for tools that help people. One example is a program that reads the screen aloud.

In a shop it can say when the cart changes.

After add-ons are updated, these details should be checked.

Definition
ARIA is an extension to HTML that describes interface elements for assistive technologies such as screen readers. In a shop it can announce, for example, when the cart changes. After extension updates, these attributes should be checked.
