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.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing structured data in a platform-independent way.
It uses a hierarchical tree structure with custom-defined tags, supports schemas such as DTD and XML Schema for validation, enables namespaces to avoid naming conflicts, and is widely used in formats and protocols such as 
RSS, SOAP, and configuration files.
