HTML Accessibility API Mappings (HTML-AAM) defines how <a class="termref">user agents</a> map <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> [[HTML]] elements and attributes to platform <a class="termref" data-lt="accessibility API">accessibility application programming interfaces (<abbr title="Application Programming Interfaces">APIs</abbr>)</a>. It leverages and extends the [[[core-aam-1.2]]] and the [[[accname-aam-1.1]]] for use with the HTML host language. Documenting these mappings promotes interoperable exposure of roles, states, properties, and events implemented by accessibility APIs and helps to ensure that this information appears in a manner consistent with author intent.

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
This specification defines how HTML user agents respond to and expose [=role=], [=state=] and [=ARIA/property=] information provided for Web content. Unless indicated otherwise, an HTML element or attribute with default [[[WAI-ARIA]]] semantics must be exposed to the platform <a class="termref">accessibility APIs</a> according to the relevant WAI-ARIA mappings defined in the [[[core-aam-1.2]]] ([[core-aam-1.2]]) specification.
This specification defines how HTML user agents respond to and expose [=role=], [=state=] and [=ARIA/property=] information provided for Web content. Unless indicated otherwise, an HTML element or attribute with default [[[wai-aria-1.2]]] semantics must be exposed to the platform <a class="termref">accessibility APIs</a> according to the relevant WAI-ARIA mappings defined in the [[[core-aam-1.2]]] specification.
</p>
<p>
In some cases, often due to features of the HTML host language or the accessibility API in question, an element or attribute's mapping differs from the corresponding ARIA mappings specified in the [[core-aam-1.2]]. Where an HTML element or attribute does not have any default WAI-ARIA semantics, the applicable mapping for each platform <a class="termref">accessibility API</a> is defined by this specification.

If user agent developers need to expose information using other <a class="termref">accessibility APIs</a>, it is recommended that they work closely with the developer of the platform where the API runs, and assistive technology developers on that platform.
