About

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a technical specification from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative that defines how to improve the accessibility of web content and applications, particularly those with dynamic interfaces and custom controls.

It provides a set of roles and properties that can be added to HTML to describe user interface elements, their relationships, and current states, enabling assistive technologies such as screen readers to interpret widgets, live updates, and complex interactions that are not natively accessible.

oEmbed is an open format that allows websites to embed representations of external URLs such as videos, images, and posts from third-party services.

It defines a simple API that returns structured metadata in JSON or XML for generating content previews, and supports multiple content types including video, photo, link, and rich embeds.
