Accessibility and Aria Labels

Accessibility in web development is crucial for making websites and applications usable for individuals with disabilities. Aria labels are used to provide descriptive information for elements on a webpage, particularly for screen readers and assistive technologies. Aria label is an attribute that helps to define the purpose of an element, giving context to generic or non-descriptive items. For example, if a button only displays the word 'send', the aria label can be used to specify that it sends an email. Using aria labels enhances the user experience for individuals who are unable to fully see or read certain elements.
