allyJs

allyJs is a JavaScript library designed to improve the accessibility of web applications. It provides a set of tools and utilities that help developers create more inclusive and usable experiences for all users, particularly those with disabilities. The library focuses on addressing common accessibility challenges, such as managing focus, handling ARIA attributes, and creating accessible interactions.

One of the core features of allyJs is its robust focus management capabilities. It offers methods to programmatically control focus, ensuring that interactive elements are reachable and that focus order is logical. This is crucial for keyboard navigation and screen reader users. Additionally, allyJs provides utilities for working with ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles, states, and properties, helping developers implement these attributes correctly to convey semantic information to assistive technologies.

The library also includes solutions for common UI patterns that can be difficult to make accessible, such as dropdowns, modals, and tabbed interfaces. It aims to simplify the process of building these components in an accessible manner, reducing the burden on developers. allyJs is built with performance and compatibility in mind, aiming to work across a wide range of browsers and devices. Its modular design allows developers to include only the parts of the library they need, further optimizing performance.
